"Visited here for the candle light concert
Likes
1. The property is beautiful and spacious. Very old charm to it.
2. Decent parking area to accommodate at least 40 cars .
3. The auditorium was well lit and ventilated. Even though it was a full house the temperature was comfortable.
4. The entire space was very clean and had a fresh scent, despite having a show earlier and was scheduled to have one after the 7 pm one.
Dislikes
1. The sinage to the place needs to be placed strategically for people to notice it. If missed, one will need to take a U turn at KMCH head all the way to Jennys for another U turn and the reach here."

I especially enjoyed the fabric exhibition, which explores the origins and types of fabrics in detail — from intricate traditional weaves to contemporary textile art. The curation is informative and visually engaging, offering a deeper appreciation of textile heritage alongside modern interpretations. Whether you're into history, design, or contemporary creativity, this place is well worth a visit. Bonus points for the peaceful atmosphere and friendly staff."
