The evening went very smoothly and I received many positive comments from both our members and guests.” Devon & Somerset Law Society, 11 November 2011

“A note to say thank you for all your with our event last Thursday.  It was a huge success and our guests had a lovely time, there were lots of lovely compliments about the Long Room and the warm welcome we received from your staff, who were brilliant. I was able to say thank you to them at the time but I would be grateful if you could let them know how much our guests enjoyed the evening. I am also grateful to Chef and his team for organising something at short notice for my guest with coeliac disease, this was much appreciated and I think he felt particularly well looked after!” Somerset Care, 13 October 2011

“On behalf of The Health Consultancy and NAPC I’d like to express our thanks to you and your team. As always, the support and attention to detail has been excellent, so please thank Ruth and the team for their support at yesterday’s development day. Some presentations again required wifi, which appeared to run much more smoothly this time round, so thank you for the improvements made in this particular area. The Cricket Ground’s facilities are extremely good and provide a very helpful ‘learning environment’ for NHS colleagues who are working so hard currently to make sense of the reforms and changes nationally. We have therefore appreciated the support and flexibility offered from you and your team throughout 2011.” NAPC, 13 October 2011

“Just a quick note to you and your staff to say thank you for accommodating us at our Economist Dinner last night. The feedback we received about the venue and in particular the food, has all been favourable and the service offered by the team was fantastic. Please pass on our appreciation.” NatWest, 28 June 2011  

“We recently held our first regional conference in the newly refurbished County Room at the Somerset Cricket Ground and found the space ideal for our requirements. The refurbished venue is light and airy and had the added benefit of outside seating which several members of staff took advantage of during the sunny lunch break! The staff were friendly and efficient and they were happy to accommodate our requirements both in advance and on the day. We will certainly consider holding an event there again. Sharon Copsey.” NSPCC Regional Head of Service – South West

“Age UK hired the Somerset County Cricket Ground newly refurbished conference facilities on Tuesday 15^th June 2010 for the South West Forum on Ageing Launch Event. The conference was attended by public agencies & older people representatives. The day was very successful and the feedback from delegates was really positive.” Age Concern, 16th June 2010.

“We had a very enjoyable day on the 30th June and initially it looks like it has been very successful too. I thought the venue was superb and the facilities excellent. The staff were very friendly and attentive and we wanted for nothing. Please pass on my thanks to Mel and all the staff, they looked after us expertly. I would not hesitate to use the venue again for future events.” RNIB, 2010
