Event performance in Kingston Upon Thames

“The Pattern Cutting & Professional Sewing Techniques course was great. Paul Simonson is so knowledgable and shared that knowledge in an uncomplicated, easy manner. I learnt a lot in 2 short weeks and Phew. The other staff are great. Nina Hunt in the Short Course unit was so helpful and nice. Maureen in the Sewing department was so helpful and went above and beyond. Great place to study. Will definitely look at doing another course there. Ikwo 2015”

“Super friendly staff and great atmosphere. Really enjoyed the drinks. Didn't try the food though but lots of dif areas and spacs to drink”

“Ckyra has been an absolutely outstanding Vice President over the past two years. She is, without a doubt, the most active and in-person KSU staff member I’ve encountered, always visible and approachable on campus. Whenever my friends or I had an issue, no matter how big or small, she went out of her way to help us as best she could. What sets Ckyra apart is how much she genuinely considers everyone. She listens carefully, gives thoughtful advice, and exercises excellent judgment in every situation. Her dedication, fairness, and ability to balance different perspectives have made a real difference to student life. She doesn’t just do her job — she actively works to make the university experience better for everyone, whether it’s supporting students with concerns, improving services, or just being someone you know you can rely on. Ckyra’s energy, commitment, and empathy make her a role model for the KSU team and a true asset to the student body. Having someone like her representing us has made my time at university so much more positive and enjoyable. I can’t recommend her highly enough — she genuinely goes above and beyond.”

“My daughter loves coming to her dance class with Traceworks. I loved watching the class and seeing her beautiful dancing. The teacher was fantastic and overall I was very impressed.”

“We went there to see "as December falls". I will be honest, I'm in my late 40's and went mainly to support my youngest (20). I can honestly say I really enjoyed myself, it had the vibe of a rock/metal gig venue from 25-30 years ago, everyone looking out for each other, but with a modern twist, a new generation following the old school values of doing their best to just love the music and doing all the can to help others enjoy it too. The other thing that struck me is the price of drinks, here in Surrey we are sadly used to being hammered by drink prices, and I fully expected the drinks to be on the he pricey side, especially as we were a captive audience, that had choice but pay the prices they charged. The date was the 15/08/2025 and 2 single vodkas with cranberry came to £11 (something). I have paid a lot more in places I have enjoy far less in the area. Finally, without going into detail, we had some additional needs, we needed a chair for the gig part, and honestly it was no trouble, we told one person at the bar, I didn't catch his name, but but the time we got into the gig part, all the staff knew, and were descreetly on hand if needed Thanks to all the staff at the fighting cocks, those at banquet records who ran the music part, and to As December Falls for a brilliant albeit hot and sticky night”

“Perfect small theatre. Excellent shows with a mix of professionals and younger players. Take the family to see Cinderella and leave with a smile on your face. There is a good cafe for drinks and ice-cream. And lots of pre/post theatre options in the vicinity.”

“Fantastic Sunday roast, always our 1st choice of pub in Kingston when heading out as a family. Staff are really friendly and it has been beautifully decorated for Christmas. The Spring Grove has never disappointed us, top pub!”

“Magic Oz went out of his way to provide our residents and staff with an unforgettable and personal afternoon experience. He was warm and friendly, understanding and engaging with our residents and left them with magical memories. Aside from a brilliant performance, Magic Oz was incredibly flexible with our booking and professional throughout. I would not hesitate in recommending booking Oz for any time or occasion to meet and exceed your hopes and expectations. Thank You Oz Surbiton Care Home”
