Great venue and entertainment

Had a great evening here watching John Archer and Roy Walker. It's a proper, traditional, events space of which there are too few. Brilliant friendly staff, well organised event, good food and great prices. Will definitely be back and will stay in their rooms next time.

This is a great venue

This is a great venue. It has a stage a large dance floor and the surroundings are lovely. There are 2 car parks nearby as well. The acts are often very gud and the tickets are very affordable. Once u hv purchased tickets u will recieve money offers for future gigs and sometimes can enter a competition to win free tickets. This place has become a regular haunt if mine. My only criticism is it can be a bit cold in winter maybe something can be done about this ????

Get yourself here….

This is my 2nd time at the Empress and wow what can I say except if you want a really good night out then get yourself here. The acts they have are amazing and yesterday evening’s act “The Great Pretenders” were absolutely fantastic. A really great tribute act to Freddie Mercury and Brian May. Also the food is really good value. Keep up all the good work at the Empress. You deserve to keep going.
