About this space

Situated at the heart of the Centre, our cafe is a bright and flexible space. It opens directly onto the south-facing Cafe Terrace and is the natural setting for receptions, dinners, daytime meetings, talks and screenings.

The space combines the warmth of a cafe in a contemporary arts venue with the atmosphere of a lovingly restored heritage building. An original Quentin Blake mural gives the space a distinctive visual anchor for photos and conversations, while the terrace creates an easy indoor-outdoor flow for arrivals, breaks and summer receptions.

The Cafe is equipped with built-in AV for presentations, speeches, screenings and panel discussions, including projection, screen, ceiling speakers, digital display and local AV controls. Portable event kit can support live-streamed or hybrid formats by arrangement.
