点评:Fabulous building externally set in some very pretty landscaped gardens. Once inside there are 2 gift shops and a foyer. Of the two members of staff seen one seemed disinterested and the other a bit rude. No greeting or a bit about the building which would have been nice but maybe they are short staffed. We found our way round easily enough however. There was one very large bright room with nothing in it which was being used as a bit of a corridor leading to the cafe. The other rooms which had artwork in downstairs were very dark so much so that I gave up looking at things. I only listened to 1 audio but it seemed to be a monologue bearing no resemblance to what was on screen so I lost interest. We then went to the cafe which was very busy. My daughter has a blue cheese quiche and I had a pork sandwich and apple danish. The food was delicious and very reasonable. The menu covered a wide variety of options such as gluten free and halal. As I got full before finishing the staff gave me a box to take my cake with me. The staff here were very friendly and helpful. On the second floor was a textile exhibition which was quite interesting but perhaps could be a little controversial. The rest was an arts workshop space which was a great idea. Overall I loved the building grounds and cafe. I found the arts spaces too dark and the current exhibitions underwhelming apart from the textiles one. I didn’t like the political overtones which also carried through to the gift shop. Some books on art would have been welcome. I would still go again however.
翻译:精美的建筑外部坐落在一些非常漂亮的园景花园中。进去后有 2 家礼品店和一个门厅。在看到的两名工作人员中,一名似乎不感兴趣,另一名则有点粗鲁。没有问候语或关于建筑物的一些信息本来就很好,但也许他们人手不足。不过我们很容易就找到了路。有一间非常大、明亮的房间,里面空无一物,被用作通往咖啡馆的一条走廊。楼下其他有艺术品的房间非常暗,所以我放弃了看东西。我只听了一个音频,但它似乎是一段独白,与屏幕上的内容毫无相似之处,所以我失去了兴趣。然后我们去了咖啡馆,那里很忙。我女儿吃了一份蓝奶酪乳蛋饼,我吃了一份猪肉三明治和苹果丹麦菜。食物很美味而且价格非常合理。菜单涵盖了多种选择,例如无麸质和清真食品。当我吃完之前就吃饱了,工作人员给了我一个盒子让我随身携带蛋糕。这里的工作人员非常友好和乐于助人。二楼有一个纺织品展览,很有趣,但可能有点争议。剩下的就是一个艺术工作室空间,这是一个好主意。总的来说,我喜欢这里的建筑场地和咖啡馆。我发现艺术空间太暗了,除了纺织品展览之外,目前的展览也平淡无奇。我不喜欢礼品店里也带有的政治色彩。一些有关艺术的书籍会受到欢迎。不过我还是会再去。
