What people said
Fantastic. Great venues. Great staff. Everyone so welcoming
Let's you see what a lovely place St Andrews is. All the pubs and resturants to frequent.
I very much enjoyed this experiment and so did my friends who purchased a ticket. I went to many venues I wouldn't have ordinarily and it was great. I will definitely be doing this again next year
Really enjoyed the experience and wish could have tried more. Great to encourage people to be more experimental.
None at all, i've brought uni friends home for the past two years and we've all enjoyed it thourougly.
Just loved the atmosphere great idea
What the venues said
Very well organised, excellent and helpful communications between the venue and organisers.
We definitely seen a few new faces to the shop. The marketing was good and im sure the event will build year on year 👍🏻
