Excellent exhibition of Victoria Crowe's colourful work over the years. It covers three floors so there's a lot to see. Ends in October, but ideal on a damp, windy day in September.

Excellent venue. Good exhibition. Good stall was super expensive and not worth it. This is meant to be about giving children the chance to learn things they might not do at school, not rip the parents of for food and drinks.

For the summer of 2019 until October, there is an exhibition of Victoria Crowe stunning paintings. Well worth a visit. Do start by watching the film of her talking about her work on the first floor.

I first came in to the souvenir store and saw some lovely postcards so came back to check it out. It is a relatively small gallery but have some nice pieces. I was in a rush as I was going to catch a train but if I had more time I would definitely indulge is enjoying the art pieces. If you are around and have an hour or so, definitely worth dropping by. There's a nice souvenir shop and little cafe just on the ground floor too.

Convenient location right beside Waverly train station. Usually features permanent and temporary exhibitions, but today (October 2021) the majority of the gallery was closed. Still, very nice place to visit.
