The Lighthouse Venue

Big, wonderful staff. Cafe and entrance area, aswell as a large hall. Perfect for events.

I would give 0 stars if I could, very very disappointed. My Muslim friend and her mother attended a good friend’s wedding, which is meant to be a happy and welcoming event at this religious establishment. However, when they attempted to privately pray, they were met with shocking discrimination. They were told, “Who said you can pray here?” and directed to either pray in the toilet or in their car. This kind of treatment is completely unacceptable, especially in a place of worship. It’s disheartening to witness such lack of respect and hospitality and I would not recommend this venue to anyone looking for an inclusive and welcoming environment. It is unfortunate that zero accountability has been taken.

I attended the venue for a friend’s celebration. Whilst the venue itself is great, I was shocked by the attitude of staff members towards a muslim guest. This guest wished to pray peacefully but was interrupted on numerous occasions by members of staff who rudely and disappointingly insisted she pray elsewhere, suggestions given were her car or the toilet. A great shame and really ruined what could’ve been a fantastic and inclusive experience.

I've just attended a weeks conference at the Lighthouse Venue, and particularly in these unusual times the venue was exceptional. The venue itself is a great space. It is clean and comfortable. The team ensured they maintained the measures they had put in place to create a CoVid compliant venue. Clear signage of one way routes and PPE guidance was displayed. The toilets were cleaned regularly and a system had been put in place to keep numbers to a safe amount. In the conference room itself we were asked to keep the same space for the week. The tables were sufficiently spread out. For a conference of approximately 50 delegates at no time did we feel anxious about social distancing. The catering was excellent as were the staff. They were friendly and efficient. There was plenty of on site parking available. I would highly recommend this venue.

Went to an incredible conference here - fantastic venue - highly recommend!⭐
