Such a fantastic place to visit with super friendly staff and volunteers. So many varied activities taking place through the week. A well stocked library section, lovely affordable snacks and refreshment. I especially love the cloth swap service where you can take unwanted clothes and swap them for something new. Well worth a visit if you are in the local area.
