A beautiful cacophony of artisans selling everything from silver jewellry, felt work, oil paintings and ceramics amongst other things. Not only are these the cutest little shops they are also the artists studios which often offer classes as well as their beutiful products.` Be amazed at the array of gifts on offer all set under a stunning glass roof so when its rainy outside go visit. This building also contains Fred's cafe which should not be missed.

What a great place to wander round! Some wonderful artists showing/selling their works. Lovely to see them at work in their studios but having time to chat and talk to us, showing what they were passionate about! Loved our visit! Was a warm day today so had to stop for cold drinks at the cafe too.

A lovely artisan craft centre full of individual shops selling handmade jewellery, clothes, pottery, leather goods and paintings. Beautiful building with the sun streaming through the glass ceiling. Plus a lovely little cafe selling drinks and cakes. Definitely worth visiting if you're looking for a unique gift or piece of art.
