VENUE:
As Summer creeps closer, with recent years throwing random weather
patterns at us, we decided not to gamble and to host our May, Jun, Sep,
and Oct events indoors where the ACs have our back.
The challenge was finding a large enough Indoor Venue that has the
correct licensing to host Indoor Music Events, AND welcome children,
AND have enough space for kids’ and adults’ play area, AND able to host
a craft market, AND cater for our Saffa pallets, AND support with friendly
pricing so we don‘t regret our lives the next day, AND have enough
space to facilitate up to 1000 of us running around in shorts and flops
without judgment!
SO, we finally found the Millenium Al Rawdah Hotel who was happy to
assist and tick all these boxes for us to make it happen!
