First impressions last.. as we walked into the main entrance we where met by the most cheerful person ever... who gave us all the information with regards the art and also directions externally to our final destination that was only a few steps away. The cafe area was spotless and hassle free... a massive pot of tea for 2 for £4 that made up 4 and a bit cuppas we where made up. Well worth a visit allow a few hours to get around as lots to see.

This is really a wonderful place to go and see artwork. It's free entry, with optional donations. Disabled access is clearly in mind as there is a ramp to enter and lifts inside the building. They really want as many people as possible to get access to art. They are trying to include more diversity in art on display and artists featured in the gallery.

Beautiful art gallery with multiple entry. There is a cafe, a small gift shop and a children’s play area on the ground floor. It is free but you can donate at the entrance if you feel generous!
Stephen Harris
What a lovely gallery! Free entry and some very interesting exhibits…paintings, sculptures, practical experiences too and I also spotted some kind of art discussion group in flow. It’s very well set out, with an atrium area connecting two buildings. Nice shop and the cafe seemed reasonable. Need to come back again as we didn’t see it all.

Gorgeous place! Some areas were quite busy but we did go on a weekend during the half term. We would definitely be going back. The gift shop wasn't extortionate either!
