Visited 08/05/2012...Large gallery displaying japanese materials, a cafe and a few other exhibits.. \the only local crafts seemed to be some groteque pottery and a jewellery shop.. No one was actually creating anything for all the jewellery could have been brought in... Very disappointing.. a few years back there used to be people at least blowing glass etc..

I didn't have time to explore the Craft Centre itself as I was only passing through Ruthin on business. It was fast approaching lunch time and deffo needing a cuppa I saw the signs indicating a cafe at the craft centre. Usually not a good sign as these places are often fairly desperate. Echoing and cold. Soulless and empty places... More

My partner ordered a bacon toastie only to be told later that they didn't do the bacon toasties until after 2.30 and it was only 2.00!!! how bizzare, surely bacon can be eaten any time of the...

There is a distinct lack of variety here. The old centre was full of local crafts people but with the noteable exception of Neil Dalrymple, the current residents realy don't reflect the culture or talent of the area.

Lovers of arts, crafts and architechture will enjoy visiting this museum. And, although we didn't dine here, the food in the cafe looked and smelt delicious. The only thing which we did not like was how expensive the gifts in the shop were. I would say that £135 for a scarf is out of most people's budgets!

I used to enjoy visiting Ruthin Craft Centre as a child, but these days it's such a waste of time! There is hardly anything there any more. What a shame!
