It's 300-person capacity and rake seating facilities mean The Carnegie can accommodate everything from conferences, exhibitions, community events and training sessions to fitness classes, markets, fundraising events and private functions.
Nice venue, plenty of room, air conditioning, decent ticket prices. Do not overcharge for drinks and snacks either. Good selection of shows. Comfortable seats with lots of leg room.
Attended a Wellbeing event at this venue - ideally located with free parking within easy walking distance. Great facilities and a great programme of diverse upcoming events.
Excellent venue for corporate events.
My new wife and I booked the Carnegie for our wedding reception following previous attendance there for other events. The room is amazing and easily accommodated our 120 guests.
Tom and the team were exemplary and made the whole experience totally seamless. We can highly recommend the Carnegie for any function!
