    Went to see Space trip, and was amazed at the layout of the building and how helpful staff were when I was trying to find my way, I was incredibly impressed with the whole experience.

    Fabulous space in the UoB SU. Great space tucked away in the corner of the building. Good sized stage with good sound and lighting setup. Saw a lovely performance there. Seats were comfortable too.
