Operational Training, South Wales Police.

“We have used these facilities for a number of years for our training. From the initial enquiry to attending at the venue is always a very professional and easy experience. The venues are secure which not only provides the confidence in protecting the type of any training we deliver but also officers feel comfortable training here. The facilities meet are needs with the added benefits of catering if required. We have a good working relationship with AV and hope to maintain this for future years.” Operational Training, South Wales Police.

Woody’s Lodge

“The RFCA has played a crucial role in enabling the start-up of Woody’s Lodge at HMS Cambria and supporting us there on. Suffice to say without the support of the RFCA and its staff, Woody’s as a charity, would not have progressed as far as it has across Wales in delivering  social, signposting and support bases for Armed Forces Veterans and their families. We look forward to a closer working relationship with the RFCA and Welsh Cadet Forces, in bringing increased and wider support for the Armed Forces Communities, of the past, present and future.” Dr D Trotman, CEO, Woody’s Lodge

PACT, North Wales Police

“We have been working with RFCA for 10 years utilising their facilities in north Wales to deliver our annual schools programme, “Justice in a Day”. The facilities available are excellent and we always received first class service from the teams in Cardiff and in the north Wales locations.” PACT, North Wales Police  

Joint Firearms Unit, South Wales Police

“We have used AV on several occasions to facilitate our specialist training within the Joint Firearms Unit here in the Wales Region. The booking procedure is always easy to undertake and the staff are more than helpful and knowledgeable with regards to questions / issues we may have. The venue we use is always in good condition, there are ample facilities to accommodate students welfare such as toilet and tea and coffee facilities on site. AV have never let us down on any occasion and I /we would have no hesitation in recommending them and the service they provide. Hopefully we can use their facilities and service to further our training needs in the coming months and years.“ Firearms Instructor - Joint Firearms Unit, South Wales Police

North Wales Training

“Alternative Venues is easily one of the best venue providers in Wales, as evidenced by our return business for ten years running. Working with AV has allowed us to expand our operation across North Wales with ease.  The venues are clean, well-organised and flexible to fit a variety of functions – small to large, one off or regular use.  The facilities are ideally located, and the AV team is incredibly capable and stop at nothing to ensure that venues are ready for use.  Even when specific asks are at hand that require the AV team to go above and beyond, they smile and make it happen. I can’t recommend them highly enough!” Martin Craven – Operations Manager, North Wales Training
