点评:A truly beautiful, unique and inspiring space with a welcoming atmosphere. Wheelchair friendly throughout and a safe space for all communities.
Like a tardis, it's bigger on the inside. The main reception area is stunning in itself, packed with work from a huge variety of artists which rotates regularly, including paintings, sculpture, handmade gifts and greetings cards.
Then through to the "Garage Gallery", a space for art exhibitions from local artists which changes every 6 weeks, so there is always something new to look at.
Outside takes you to the "beach", leading to the undercover yard which is a great space for workshops.
Beyond that is the "Long Gallery", which is a bright, cosy and enchanting space, decorated with flowers, perfect for sitting with a drink and snack whilst admiring the paintings and view of the garden, come rain or shine.
Of course, on a sunny day in particular, the sculpture garden is a perfect tranquil space to sit peacefully under the tree or on the patio, surrounded by beautiful sculptures and a stunning variety of plants.
Weekly casual events are great fun to drop into. Plus lots of seasonal events throughout the year.
Games night on Wednesdays for boardgames or D&D, bring your own game or choose from a selection of in house games.
"Art 2 Art" on Thursdays for a chance to bring along a creative project and have a chat with like-minded people whilst having a coffee and focusing on your work. Particularly great for people like me who struggle to make the time to focus on personal projects at home.
It's been amazing to see the transformation of this building from a run-down empty shell to such a stunning little community space full of joy and love for all things creative.
翻译:一个真正美丽、独特、鼓舞人心的空间,氛围温馨。整个空间适合轮椅通行,是所有社区的安全空间。
就像塔迪斯一样,内部空间更大。主接待区本身就令人惊叹,里面摆满了各种艺术家的作品,这些作品定期轮换,包括绘画、雕塑、手工礼品和贺卡。
然后穿过“车库画廊”,这是当地艺术家的艺术展览空间,每 6 周更换一次,所以总有新的东西可看。
外面带你去“海滩”,通往隐蔽的院子,那里是举办工作坊的好地方。
再往前是“长画廊”,这是一个明亮、舒适、迷人的空间,装饰着鲜花,无论晴天雨天,都非常适合坐下来喝点饮料、吃点零食,同时欣赏绘画和花园景色。
当然,特别是在阳光明媚的日子,雕塑花园是一个完美的宁静空间,可以安静地坐在树下或露台上,周围环绕着美丽的雕塑和各种令人惊叹的植物。
每周举办的休闲活动非常有趣。此外,全年还有许多季节性活动。
周三晚上有游戏之夜,可以玩棋盘游戏或 D&D,您可以带上自己的游戏或从一系列室内游戏中选择。
周四举办“Art 2 Art”,您可以带上一个创意项目,一边喝咖啡一边与志同道合的人聊天,专心工作。对于像我这样很难抽出时间专注于家庭个人项目的人来说,这尤其棒。
看到这栋建筑从一个破旧的空壳变成了一个如此令人惊叹的小型社区空间,充满了对所有创意事物的欢乐和热爱,真是太神奇了。
