Become a Family MemberWhat a brilliant space! The exhibtion I saw was thoughtfully curated and the "attendants", well versed in the artist and his intention. Excellent bookshop with a broad range of literature and art books. The café had a good range of wines, foods and particularly good coffee.
Great peaceful little library, gallery and cafe! Stopped by for a fruit granola in-between catching the train as its practically right outside the station. Service is quick, space is very clean and serene, perfect for reading or a light chat. I didn't have a chance to try them out but from the looks of it the pastries look fantastic aswell. If you are stopping by or looking for somewhere to go while at the train station this would be my pick! ✨
A nice gallery, bookshop, cafe space. Clean and friendly with executive service. Good jasmine tea and cheese scone and cinnamon swirl recommended. Main meals looked good too. Extensive arty bookshop and the lift to the gallery is a fun trip and made my day
Popped in to see Martin Boyce “Before Behind Between Above Below” after being in City Art Centre since they are directly across the road from the other. I had never thought to go in before and I’m glad I did. Absolutely loved the pieces on communication and the tree sculpture/alphabet. Lots to unpack about codifying nature and the ascent or descent of technology and how we communicate now. Staff were fab, up for a chat and good to see genuine interest in exhibitions. Lovely space they have and felt like a perfect wee social for like-minded art lovers! Will definitely return in the future!
Visited for a wreath making class with Narcissus Flower School. Had a nice coffee in the cafe which had a nice atmosphere, all staff were very friendly, the venue was really cool. Very handy that it's right beside the train station. Highly recommend Fruitmarket and the Narcissus classes.
