Testimonials

"We had a fantastic day and you were brilliant - and fitted perfectly into the theme of the day and the audience we had - you were loved by all. 
We had approx 2,500 visitors that day - over twice my max estimate - but the building coped...and you helped us a great deal in our work to manage visitors, by being flexible about where we sent you in the building for each set - it helped to give all our visitors a good quality experience and helped to keep us all safe and within regs."

- Sarah Hammond, Education Officer
