Lovely artist products for sale, nice ladies working at the desk, Lovely Cafe…we enjoyed our little purchases and our Macchiato !!
I was initially confused as I thought The Barony Centre was still a religious building, but it's actually a fascinating space, well worth a visit. It features contemporary exhibitions and includes a lovely café. There’s also a regular program of classes and groups that you can join. The centre is part of Craft Town, which is a trail featuring around 10 art studio shops spread across the high street in a one-mile radius. Each shop is run by local artists who create their own crafts, host workshops, and sell their art. The best time to visit Craft Town is from Thursday to Saturday, as that's when the artists are present in their studio shops. You can meet them, chat about their work, and get a real sense of the creativity in the community. The quality of artistic presentation is exceptional throughout.
Nice cafe. Interesting gallery of local artists. Monday morning craft club. Worth a visit.
Been here a few times for the local craft fair. Beautiful building with a great cafe and a lovely shop. Worth a visit.
Had lunch with two friends. Excellent! Quiche to die for.Sald crispy and fresh with a beautiful light vinaigrette dressing. Home baking amazing. Prices very reasonable. Staff extremely pleasant and helpful. Absolutely spotless. Art Gallery and Jewellery and Gift store well worth browsing. All handcrafted. Staff in shop very pleasant. Well worth visiting. Parking adjacent to The Barony - slight incline on approach so keep that in mind for those with mobility issues.
Sensitive conversion which has led to creation of a light and airy exhibition space. Good range of craft items including pottery, silver smithing, felting and prints. Excellent cafe: very good service, well priced food, full flavoured coffee and the cake was delicious.
What a delightful place. The centre had a superb exhibition of pottery from Scottish potters in a bright, airy and welcoming display. We went into the adjacent cafe and were greeted by lovely, attentive staff. We had delicious lentil soup and half a sandwich with a tasty cup of coffee. The whole visit was a fine experience, culminating in us buying a pottery piece of a "mining village". We will return.
A really exciting place to visit! The shop has lots of locally-made art and crafts that make brilliant gifts for friends and family. The café provides delicious wholesome food - soups, sandwiches, quiches and to-die-for cakes! There are ever-changing exhibitions and workshops to keep the kids amused. The transformation from stark Presbyterian church to exciting art venue has been sympathetic and dynamic. Reasonable parking nearby and a short walk.
A superb award winning venue. Great exhibitions, a fabulous space for meetings, workshops and events. A historic town with a great atmosphere. The volunteer staff are very friendly indeed.
