BAaD - Barras Art & Design

As an event venue I've read some good reports of this place. However I can only base it on my own experience. I went to see Stuart Mitchell at a recent gig here, and he was absolutely brilliant. Unfortunately the sound system was so poor I missed quite a few jokes. Not ideal when you are there for a comedy show.

We hosted our Fake Indian Wedding event at BAAD courtyard & it was overall an amazing experience. The management and staff are very helpful with every aspect of the event from booking, to execution on the day of the event. Excellent communication from Danielle, who also showed us around the venue prior to the booking. Scott the manager was very helpful on the day, so was each and every staff working on the day. Overall excelled venue and staff, Highly recommended.

After exploring eleven venues online, we were recommended BAaD and immediately fell in love with it from the moment we visited the website. Living in London, we took a chance that the venue would be BAadAss, and seeing it for the first time on our Wedding Day exceeded all expectations. Jess, the Events Planner, brought our vision to life with such care and precision, creating the atmosphere we ADHD dreamed of. Her communication and attention to detail throughout the entire planning process — from the early months to the final days — were exceptional. BAadAss. Day. Ever!

Exceptional venue for gigs and events. I have been there with 2 friends and we loved it. Marianne and the musicians gifted us the an unforgettable jazzy night. Thanks!

We had the most amazing wedding party here. Jess is absolutely fantastic in every way! She is friendly, so organised, details focussed but chilled at the same time. We loved working with her and all the team at BAaD. Everything was exactly as discussed, it flowed so well. They accommodated all our random ideas and executed it was precision. Our suppliers all commented on how great it was too! Best wedding ever from so many guests and it was all down to Jess and the team. Food and drinks were perfection, dance floor was full all night. If you want great vibes, have your wedding here!!! Photos by Claire Fleck.

We got married at BAad recently and had the most incredible day from start to end. Jess, the wedding manager, is outstanding, we cannot sing her praises enough. Planning our day with her was effortless and so stress free. She put our minds at ease every step of the way. Scott, Amy and the rest of the management team are fantastic and overall every member of staff is brilliant. The venue itself is so open and bright with a fantastic sound system! Jess and her team gave us the most fantastic day, decorating it exactly as we imagined, with a super quick turn around between ceremony, dinner and evening reception. Everything was taken care of, and we are so grateful to the entire team. If we were to do our day all over again, we wouldn't think twice about choosing anywhere else.

Great venue very cool excellent value for money singer was phenomenal as was the band. Only thing is the bench seats super uncomfortable even for an hour's performance.

Great venue. Good selection of food and drink. Nice staff. Had a good night out here for DJ Vance.
