About Betty – Our Studio

Betty is 16.5m x 9m, Betty’s and with a state-of-the-art AV system the perfect space for theatrical performances, live music events, film screenings, launches and more. Betty is separated from our café area using a 59dB rated partition wall, so you ‘ll be able to move between areas – but sound won’t.
