Access and arrival
15 km (9.3 mi) separates Ghostlight Theatre from Buffalo Niagara International Airport (BUF) — normal for a city venue, and worth a line in the joining instructions rather than a shuttle contract.
This is an out-of-centre venue — 8.4 km (5.2 mi) from the middle of Amherst — which usually buys you parking and load-in access in exchange for a transport plan.
Amherst has 19 venues mapped in total and a population of 122,366. The Amherst guide covers the airport, the local time zone and what else is bookable nearby.
The kind of event it takes
This is a room for a workshop, a chapter meeting, a training day or one track of a larger programme. Anything with an exhibition attached needs a second space.
- networking mixers
An independent space with its own character, which a mixer benefits from more than a conference does.
- fundraisers and galas
A room with a personality is worth more at a gala than square footage is.
