I attended the Hit & Run 15th Birthday event and had a great experience. The staff were friendly, drinks prices reasonable, the warehouse style venue suits the music style and sound system loud and good quality.
Truly awesome music, I'd not done breaks, or jungle in 16 years & Garage in 20 years. So. It was a massive blast from the past! This is all after being invited in, free entry and free drinks. OMG! I was treated like a king by all the staff, both while they wee working and once they'd finished at the after party upstairs! Such an excellent selection of people! Truly honoured to be in their presence, all so sound! Yep, all still awesome people! Good selection of nights & genres to choose from. Always a good crowd. Although, it's a case of I take 2 random people, add their ages, I'm still older than their combined age! ????
This club does not allow over 21s! Every night is claimed to be a 'student night' to sway people away that do not fit their young image. After one of my party provided a student ID as a mature student (40 years old), another excuse was created to not allow her admittance. I myself am 19 and I was the only one of my party of 5 that they were going to allow in, despite the fact that I am not even a student. They do not check IDs so if you are underage and wanting a night out, this is the gig for you. We travelled down from the Lake District, paid train fares, hotels and taxi fares for a night here. We pre-booked tickets directly from the website and there was no mention of any age limit. Bouncer and lady on the door did their jobs and were lovely. It's a shame management have such ageist policies.
