Testimonials

Bridge Club Ltd

The National Glass Centre is a wonderful venue for conferences, seminars and dinners - particularly when you're looking for something a little bit different.  The reception team are incredibly helpful and resourceful. The Riverside Suite is a great venue overlooking the River Wear and complex catering challenges are flexibly handled by the team in Throwingstones Restaurant.  All in all - a pleasure to work with!

"Having used other venues for briefings to all of our employees, we had struggled to find suitable facilities which met all of our needs.  After a meeting with Elaine we were shown the excellent facilities and decided to book the lecture theatre at St. Peters Campus for an important communications event from our Executive Vice President, who was very complimentary about the venues and the facilities.
Everything went extremely well and the staff were incredibly helpful, including excellent technical support.
We don't need to look for other suitable venues anymore, we have found the perfect place"
