Why have you chosen this venue?
We listened to guest feedback after our last event, that said VSO events are ‘too London centric’. Although, we do appreciate this may still be a little too far for some to travel.
If this is the case, please let us know when you RSVP and we could have a conversation about holding a similar event closer to you in the future.
