• "Great music venue and good events."
• "Definitely recommended to have a go once!"
• "The new Mayfield Depot location is epic. 10,000 capacity is mind blowing."
• "One of my go to venues as they have superb DJs, the venue itself is epic and the crowd is always good!"
• "Loud music, high sound quality and immersive visual, ingredients for an amazing night out."
• "It's well organised and great place to be. Very helpful and friendly staff."

Cons:

• "Don’t bother - dangerously over crowded and treating people like a herd of cattle."
• "Rammed to the rafters, sweltering massive queues for toilets, smoking."
• "Black mould everywhere."
• "The smell and humidity of the warehouse was still there, some might see it as authentic and cool, but to me it seemed filthy at times."
• "The place was as the name suggests an old warehouse transformed into a club."
• "The idea of warehouse is great - they just over sell and under sell."
• "Terrible venue. Porta cabins for toilets. Freezing, and absolutely packed."

Facilities & Services

Pros:

• "Good soundsystem."
• "Plenty of bars and service at the bar was quick."
• "Friendly and helpful staff."
• "We had VIP tickets to see Camelphat, which I would recommend. We had our own bar, which wasn't busy."
• "Best Rave ever!!! Fully accessible, fully amazing!!!"
• "Thanks for allowing us to bring reusable water bottles & under cover queuing to get in is a godsend."
• "Staff are always plotted around to help."

Cons:

• "Very long and slow queues on entry. Highly priced alcohol and not many options."
• "The sounds system is terrible if you are not right in front of the stage."
• "Toilets are porter loos."
• "Even when I stood in the 'sweet spot' of each room I still felt the overall volume (and especially the sub-bass) was lacking."
• "The toilets are pretty poor and overcrowded and drinks and very expensive £2.50+ for a bottle of water."
• "Toilets were totally grim - and these were the VIP ones so they should have been better."
• "Not enough toilets available, FILTHY."
