The Box. Why no visitors?

[Biggs]

I've yet to visit but keep forgetting it's there.
Does it advertise or market itself much ?

I think so, it got a LOT of national and international attention when it opened. Then well publicised exhibitions since, and continuing good reviews.

Surprised to see the thread title as my impression is that it’s been a roaring success, to be honest.

The member of staff that works there disagrees with how busy it is though, so I’d guess they have a good idea.

Those profits are impressive mind. Maybe it’s that staff member putting people off. 😂😂

The aquarium is exactly the same, very busy when wet.

Aren't aquariums always wet?

Worth a round of applause I reckon.

Since it opened I have only ever once had a customer wanting me to take them there. Covid came at the worst possible time for the place and the City too what with the 400 year anniversary celebrations being postponed.
