Carlton Army Reserve Centre - Nottinghamshire

Geoffrey Morgan, Freelance video producer | September 2024
"Marie and the Alternative Venues team were fantastic. They assisted at every phase of our location hunt and during shooting of our music video. Without their professionalism and timelines we would never have secured the perfect location for our shoot. In the future I’ll definitely recommend them and approach direct when looking for specific locations that are unique and production friendly."

Impressive centre
Yardley Chase Cadet Training Centre - Northamptonshire

Anna Hopkinson | October 2019
"Thank you for all your help with organising our day yesterday. I wanted to also highlight how lovely and helpful Dave was with us, nothing was too much trouble. If you could also pass our thanks over to the caterers that would be brilliant, the food was perfect for what we wanted and the ladies serving were really accommodating. The centre is great and I know that our attendees were all really impressed with it."
