Where do i start?! I attended a kink event here recently...
The toilets smell really bad & you can smell them from the hallway outside.
They had a security guard at the toilets who was deciding which gender people were & telling them which toilet they were allowed to use. This is archaic & inappropriate, especially at an event where there were many genderqueer people.
Security wouldn't let you take your drink with you into the bathroom, so you had to leave it on a table, unattended & this is putting people at risk of drink spiking.
Security also did the same with the smoking area, stating that it was a licensing issue.
If it was a licensing issue, why were you also not allowed to take your water bottle with you into the smoking area? Licensing states that alcohol has to be contained to within the area stated on the licence & it doesn't include alcohol free items.
Security were also very rude & had very poor communication skills.
On top of all of the above, empty glasses were not collected by staff in a timely fashion & all the tables ended up covered with used glasses & empty bottles/cans. Eventually these overflowed & they ended up on the floor or any flat surface ended up covered in glasses/bottles/cans.
