"Cobble stones and lots of steps make it not very wheelchair and infirm friendly."
"There are a lot of steps leading to the entrance..not sure about disabled/wheelchair access."
"Couldn’t get as close as I wanted to though as it was all fenced off due to them filming something else there."
"The toilets still have wall hung flush systems which unfortunately will take lot of effort to flush so not recommend to use the toilet facilities here."

"The whole experience was magical. The event staff were so friendly and welcoming."
Cons:
"Our experience was marred by another wedding party outside our room being very noisy not very respectful to our bride and groom."
"The only negative was some of the audience were talking throughout the experience so I would have liked to have seen staff take action to stop this as it was taking away from the band."
"Went for Cocktails in the City. Was an alright event, quieter than anticipated and some of the events such as the tastings ran over so didn't get to try all the rooms despite paying the requested tokens for it."
"For the second year attended Christmas show at St George’s Hall. Last year we sat in the stall area for two hours frozen to the bone."
"And to top it off we could not see inside the great hall, because there was a private function."
"Went to see Christmas Carol with friends... found two members of staff rather rude!!! Would suggest brushing up on their people skills!!!"
"£6.50 GBP for a Bratwurst. We were absolutely distraught."

"The History of the Whisper,at St George's Hall, is the best £6 you'll spend."
"This experience is worth every penny."
"Absolutely fantastic building. Not only a tourist attraction, but is a functioning complex of offices for weddings and the coroner."
Cons:
"Tour mainly consisted of being subjected to multiple amateur drama videos very arthouse that i found annoying."
"But the current history whisperer exhibit is too cheesy for my taste."
"£14.50 we were horrified, I could hear Bob's breath getting heavier, and I was trembling with fear."
"Alas it was spoilt by the acoustics as a deaf person there wasn't an adequate loop system."
"The cheapest ticket costs £5 and doesn’t entitle you to enter the balcony, it’s a shame that you have to pay £20 for the tour to do it."
"Visited St Georges Hall today. A place I have taken visiting friends for many years... I will never take a visitor again. I am so sad."
"So you can't visit St. Georges Hall without being part of a tour group post Covid cause things have changed."
