What a great performance of Beauty and the Beast. Well acted, well performed by all. Very professional and lots and lots of fun. As ever Aidan O'Neill and Paul Laidlaw were perfect and engaging but for me, the star of the performance was Carli Norris as Maleficent - great voice, great comic timing. Please make this a must visit. All the hard work they put in really has paid off. It should be on every locals to do list at Christmas. We travelled from London especially as it really is the best panto around.

I cam here during the week for some battles and Zac was brilliant we came here with my son who had autism, Zac was very friendly and was patient with him to make sure his experience was amazing, since he was scared of the loud noises Zac did his best to find some Ear defenders for my child, once Zac found them for him he was happy and raring to go. all of the kids came out and had a fabulous time in there. Zac was amazing with all the children definitely recommending.

High street pub and live music venue. A well known live music venue in the middle of Stevenage old town. Real ales, craft beers and a great selection of premium spirits. Jukebox, pool table and car park. No food served.

Came to visit a friend for his 40th as he's just moved to Stevenage. We're all rock and metal fans and someone had the forethought to Google where to go. Nothing about the name of the venue gives away what it is. I contacted the bar via Facebook to double check that a) it is a Rock pub of sorts (it is... Oh yes it really is) and b) did they have a band on that night (El Bronson... Highly entertaining) We arrived good and early having had a few warm up drinks. Good crowd, beer garden to the rear completely full with a good mix of all kinds of people of all ages but a rock crowd for sure. Heavy metal on the jukebox, rearranged the furniture inside to accommodate a growing group of people. Carried on drinking. The birthday boy peaked a little early at which point the management politely said that they'd rather not serve him any more alcohol and could we please get some food and water in him and sober him up. Very professional and I would say a good call, we had to source food from nearby I don't think they do food. Band got the place rocking, crowd was quite lively. One of my mates was told off for being a bit too "lively" it's a mosh pit but the pub has it's limits. Again appreciate the professionalism. We're not actually at a festival after all. Had a chat with a few of the security during the night, they were very friendly and relaxed apparently there is very rarely any trouble and I can see why. They allow you to have fun without allowing things to go too far. I flew from Indonesia for a night out in Stevenage and I would do it again. They have monthly events where they give the death and grind bands some support. So here is a call to all the local metal heads... Support your local scene and visit the Red Lion in Stevenage. ????????

I enjoyed my visit to Stevenage museum and I learnt information about the past that was very interesting and helpful to me in my career as a historical writer. I saw how people used to live their lives, wash their clothes, work and cook amongst many other things.

Every time we come to air space we are met with friendly helpfull staff, who make every one of our visits brilliant . The trampoline park is great but made outstanding by the staff who do there best to make sure it a fun environment. A big thank you to Robbie who works so hard and has put himself out for us many times, giving us late briefings and when it was busy giving my nephew, who is autistic, a laptop to see the briefing. Thank you Robbie, alias king of the every colour swirley slush, we will miss you. Tracy
