Art Centre

An absolute gem of a venue. From the minute you walk in to the little bar/cafe area the volunteer staff are brilliant. They really look after you. This is our 4th visit to this venue and don't have any major complaints. The one downside if I dare say it, is that it gets very warm in the Sumner months. As I say, this is a minor drawback on this lovely place.Price wise in the cafe/bar are very reasonable. We had a bottle of prosecco at only £20 which is very good in our books.

My daughter, started in September and loves going. Her confidence has grown so much since attending. She also made some lovely friends. Her motor skill and other skills have improved massively and is helping with her dance classes. The show they did for end of term was amazing, my daughter loved performing and we loved watching g the show . Thank you circus mash

The art festival was a little disappointing. This is our 1st visit Since Covid and although there are a few positives like more space to walk around, and more chsirs to sit on, there were a lot of things missing. the really high quality art materials were not there. No arches, Strathmore, Canson, fabriano, Bristol board, pastel papers, boards. No cutters or mounts, frames etc. Plus the number of artists on display had shrunk immensely, which was a shame as it gave the show real character. It seems to have aimed it self more at the hobby artist than the serious amateur/professional. We did enjoy it and it's worth going, but we wouldn't be encouraged to go every year now. In the past we spent 2 days there, this year we managed 2 thirds of a day.

Went to the cinema yesterday visually and audibly lovely, only issue was the seats. I'm not exactly big but the seats were too narrow for me. This was cinema 1 so not sure what cinema 2 is like. The cupholders were pushing into my legs and the seats are narrow. I couldn't sit in there for very long and wouldn't want to go back again because of this. Anyone slightly bigger than me would struggle to sit here and because of this I'm unable to bring my partner here.

Had a lovely lunch with my mum my sister and my brother in law. Staff were accommodating for my disability and friendly and courteous throughout the meal. The food was delicious and filling. No complaints at all.

Bloody wonderful exhibition! Small, but really interesting and great to see stop motion puppets up close. Gallery was clean and staff were friendly and helpful.

I am a professional artist selling my oil paintings through Carnes Fine Art. I obviously have considerable experience of the industry and have over a period of two decades dealt with numerous galleries throughout the UK. The proprietor Brad Carnes is a real pleasure to do business with, very knowledgeable and most importantly has been consummately professional in his dealings with me. The gallery is very well presented, offers a diverse range contemporary and classical works at both affordable and higher end prices. Well worth a visit, you will see “fine art” in the true sense of the term.

Giada has been extremely kind, well- informed and helpful in my dealings with Invisible Caims. I received extensive advice which was authentic and detailed. I am enchanted with the accuracy of the information and would not hesitate to recommend Invisible Caims to others. My experience with Giada has enriched my spiritual awareness and offered me a great deal of knowledge to advance self- development. 10/10. Thank you ! :)

Lovely individual items
