Great venue for our recent trip to Newcastle for a martial arts experience. Second time there. Consider better toilet and changing facilities. Could be excellent with all that space to put in shower blocks and adult toilet facilities. Surely this could be funded?

My son uses the play group here for his 15 hours per week times are very flexible but the reason I chose this centre was because the staff that look after my 2 year old. Looked after my other little boy when he was younger on a different site. Its a lovely big centre lots and activities to do lots of toys for outdoor play which is my sons favourite. Lovely setting and lovely staff.

We hold our weekly Kendo and Iaido classes at this venue. It's really handy having the social club attached for a couple of post training pints!

By the sounds of things, just got their full alcohol licence recently which means they are trying to find a customer base so it's not massively busy, very good vibe though, relaxed and the drinks are very cheap. Also has a pool table and a snooker table as well as bingo nights.
