Our most popular party is what we call an 'Up-and-Down party', which take place in the foyers in The Other Place from 7pm - 1am. The start of your party is in the upper foyer whilst pre-theatre dining and Susie's bar is open to the public in the foyer below you. From 9pm you'll have exclusive use of both upper and lower foyers, perfect for live music and dancing.
