I come here every Tuesday for rhyme time and Wednesday for the baby parent connect group. I've made some new friends from these groups and really enjoy the friendly atmosphere

Nice cafe, a bit slow though and they run out of decaf a lot. The PDQ is temperamental so if you're in a hurry it may be a bad fit. The exhibitions are always interesting if a little underwhelming on occasion. They have lovely gifts to buy like artisan arts and crafts.
