We loved the venue. Hard to beat a thirteenth century space for ambiance It is very stripped down, which gives an air of listening among the ruins, but the acoustics are amazing. Chairs were portable and comfortable.

The setting was very atmospheric, which added to the experience of the concert and the appreciation of the music. There was plenty of room and it was not cramped despite a large number of people attending.
