The Rolf Harris exhibition was great. Made even better when I met John who works there and Rolf Harris had done a painting of him. John was very friendly and obviously was over the moon that Rolf Harris had done the painting of him. Cheers John your famous now.. More

The cafe was good value, the art was great but not too keen on the lighting. Some pictures were very high up so you couldn't get a real good viewing. The lights reflected off the glass for some of the art work, making it hard to view. Staff on entry were very helpful. More
