Top 23 things to do and attractions in Paisley

I visited this wonderful place during the week . Free to get in nice tea room and made welcome , I haven't been to paisley for decades , and that was to see Killie play st mirren . Apart from the abbey, there wasn't much else to see in paisley and I tried . The museum was shut and Like most towns and cities in the UK , their glory days are in the past . Sad

Paisley, Abbey is a must see if you’re into seeing old churches and Abbeys. It’s a little out of town but well worth the trip. The exterior and interior are spectacular and is awe inspiring as any I’ve seen, having additions and rebuilds. And it is not overrun with tourists. I took the guided tour which was wonderful because nobody else showed up but me, the guide was a wealth of information and a delight to speak with and informed me that they wish they had more visitors. They have a little coffee and souvenir shop. Take some time and visit this wonderful old Abbey.

We loved it. We went to see the Barochan Cross but there is so much wonderful history. Paisley Abbey is a historic parish church of the Church of Scotland, located on the east bank of the White Cart Water in the center of Paisley, Renfrewshire, Scotland—about 7 miles (11 km) west of Glasgow. Recognized as the “cradle of the Royal House of Stewart,” it blends Romanesque and Gothic architecture. Established around 1163 by Walter FitzAlan, the first High Steward of Scotland, as a Cluniac priory on the site of a 6th-century Celtic church founded by St. Mirin. Under royal patronage, the abbey grew wealthy through trade with European centers. It was a center of learning; Scottish hero William Wallace is believed to have been educated there in the late 13th century. There are several royal burials in the church, including Robert III. The staff are wonderful. They were patient in detailing the above history and pointing out interesting highlights, including the alien gargoyle on the upper tier. Highly recommended.

An excellent and beautiful abbey right in the heart of Paisley! A great design which certainly catches the eye. There is so much history here, dating back about a millennium. Battles between the Scots and Anglos with Edward Longshanks and Bruce, Stuart Houses. It has saw fires, the war, and much more. I recommend coming here. There are plenty of places to sit, have a rest in the shade. Wonderful place.

“This is a place where the glory of God and the love of people come together. The spiritual atmosphere of the Abbey brings deep peace to the heart, and the brothers and sisters in Christ welcome you with open arms and loving hearts. ‘Be devoted to one another in brotherly love. Honour one another above yourselves.’ (Romans 12:10)”

I recently visited Paisley Abbey and was really impressed. The renovation work has made the place look amazing while still keeping its old charm. You can see how much care has gone into restoring and maintaining the Abbey. The staff were kind and shared interesting stories about its history and the recent repairs. The place feels peaceful and full of character. It’s also easy to reach with parking nearby and shops and cafés around. If you’re in Paisley, I’d highly recommend stopping by, it’s a lovely mix of history, beauty, and calm.

Make sure you book onto a guided tour; we had a very knowledgeable young lad who spent an hour and a half with us, telling us so many interesting facts. With his laser pointer he was able to highlight points in stained glass windows or high up on walls or the ceiling. What a fascinating place, so much history and the way it fits into the bigger picture of Scotland is very important.

Absolutely fantastic wee place to visit! Really interesting building shining a light on paisleys (and Scottish) family lives, religion,work, industry and leisure in the 18 century. Volunteers are brilliant and engaging! Lovely cafe and gift shop. Very worth it. Flexible open hours, just contact them to visit, even in wintertime. This place is kept by the old Paisley society so it’s definitely important to support these historic buildings being kept afloat by small groups and charities.

A beautiful experience visiting the cottages! The volunteers were so helpful and knowledgeable! There was so much kindness in the air and the small details were so beautiful! I would definitely recommend!

Sma'Shot Cattages is a small gem of Paisley history. Run by very knowledgeable, enthusiastic, and dedicated volunteers, I was very happy we visited. I look forward to my return visit.

From a small 2 bedroom family cottage, home to 13. (11 children) grew Coats Patons company, the largest supplier of cotton thread in the world.

As soon as we walked in the door we were met by a lovely volunteer who proceeded to spend 45 minutes with us sharing the history of weaving in Paisley and her own history of growing up in Scotland. The cottage is full of historical items.

Great wee day out! A tour of the Cottages as they were back in day ,it's free and very informative the tour guides are just great. Plas at the end of the tour you can go into the tea room and have teas and coffees and loads of home baking

Attended the halloween experience at sma shot cottage tonight with a group of 3 and i had to leave a review, we were absolutley blown out the water with this evening! The effort put into organising and acting the evening out was top quality! A personalised night at a private theatre! Great to have the awkward, creepy and intense moments and the added history element was really refreshing! Having been to a few jump scare and halloween history events over the last few years, this definatley ranks at number 1, and to support a good cause for a small ticket price i will definatley go again! Complete in my Greenday hoodie Thankyou very much! _ if your looking to go, just do it! There will be no dissapointment!

Nice walk offering easy walks alongside more challenging steeper routes. Plenty to see, do and explore including a waterfall, ponds and plenty of wildlife... we saw a toad yesterday.

Absolutely breathtaking views and a really enjoyable hike. The scenery was spectacular from start to finish - I could've stayed up there for hours if it weren’t for the scorching heat! I’ll definitely be back next time I’m in Scotland, especially when I’m around Glasgow. Highly recommend for anyone who loves nature and stunning landscapes.

Beautiful escape from the city! Easily accessible by car with numerous parking spaces, some small, some larger. Gorgeous views of Paisley, Glasgow, and the mountains. The terrain is not challenging and is suitable for young children. Most of the areas are not wheelchair accessible but the view point has a parking lot, so it's a very good spot for people who would struggle walking long distances.

This place is a tranquil paradise with beautiful walks and a stunning waterfall. A must see for anyone who wants to stroll through nature. Utter bliss 💜

This is a great place to go walking, either on your own, with the kids, or with the dog. On a clear day, the views and scenery are fantastic!! There is a small playpark, picnic benches, and benches located in various areas throughout. There is also a good-sized car park. Can easily spend a couple of hours here. Highly recommend.

Great views and good for walking the dog. Could be lots better though. Would be great if there was somewhere to buy a snack or cup of tea/coffee/soup, etc'. Also, could be doing with a Cable Car lifting you to and fro the area for those who can't drive, or, for the more adventurous – a Deathslide. Just a thought.

Place is away from city center of Paisley. Lovely trail you can do. Nature at its best. Dog friendly but expect mud in trail. Parking space constraint is there. But 11 cars can be accommodated. View of city is great on a sunny day.

Lovely old museum and its free... parked very cheaply opposite it on the street...things for kids to do... but its shutting soon for huge refurbishment hope they keep the original building....its beautiful

Visited for the Star Wars toy exhibitions with the family. A bit disappointed that they decided not to allow photos in the main exhibition but it was quite interesting. The kids loved the observatory and we will return one evening to see it in action. There is a side entrance for wheelchair and buggy access that enters from the car park that we missed on the way in. Lots of stairs but lifts around to make things accessible

Lovely little museum. Just enough to look at, from dinosaur foot prints to a mummified child!! A good amount about Paisley's history too. Pram and wheelchair access is up the ramp at the side you just press the bell and once inside there is a lift to get up to the main floor.

Bit of a dated display. Not particularly good at illustrating the history of the town. A chronological approach would be better instead of having it all mixed in with taxidermy and Egyptian artifacts. Paisley Artist's Exhibition is generally good, but with the usual amount of tat. So much kept in storage and never displayed (especially some of the Victorian paintings), but this has recently all been moved to the High St. Regardless, still love the place and hope the council is sensible in its redevelopment.

Remember the model you could see about 7 years ago of what would open in 2021. COVID isn't an excuse when nothing has changed since it was a building site in 2016. No doubt the companies involved still get paid by Renfrewshire Council. On the plus side the workies are friendly enough to pass a joint around when you're passing by. Because passing by is all you'll do for another 5 years

Great to see local history but not very disabled friendly if you don't have a wheelchair. No parking either, however if you give advance notice they state they will try to accommodate. No use if going there ad hoc though , but advised when it gets upgraded.

Wonderful museum that will appeal both the the natural scientist and art aficionado. Make sure that you are there during the 11am to 1pm time frame to hear the organ recital, it's not to be missed. Protip: Make sure you find the Impressionist gallery, it's subtly labeled "French" and has some wonderful pieces that you wouldn't expect to find.

Thomas Coats built this observatory after some citizens professed an interest in astronomy, a man whose philanthropy was famed, his thread mills making him and his brothers the Bill Gates of their time. The observatory is still in working order and open to the public, although now superceded by significantly more powerful telescopes. The mills that provided the wealth for this project closed in the 80s, but like this building still stand albeit with a different use as living memorials to this man and the company he founded. Coats the company? They have a small presence in Paisley only despite being a billion pound company, but without history what are we?

Amazing building constructed for this specific purpose of supporting 4 tons of telescope. Closes this month for 2 year refurbishment so great opportunity to see it again. Knowledgeable and helpful staff on hand to explain purpose and working

Despite it's clear under funding the by the council, the observatory has been a place of wonderment for me since childhood. The staff are very knowledgeable and thee are a few gems to behold once there, including the Coates telescope which is well over 100 years old, and is still in use today. Well worth a visit if you are in town...

It's a good place to visit. You need to go through the museum to gain access to the building. It's free to visit. If you have mobility issue's it's stair all the way up to the top. The video presentation was good.

This could be OK if only they would actually clean things up a bit (the place is very tatty) and know something of what they are talking about. Maybe it was a bad day but when I visited the guide's talk consisted quite literally of "This is a telescope. It was made in 1880 at the same time the building was built. Any questions". She quite literally knew nothing of her subject. Obviously there is a limit to how much a tiny provincial museum like this can manage but they have an observatory, albeit a tiny one. They have a planetarium (not in use when I visited and similarly tiny) a film presentation and a building to show it all in. So there is no excuse for then locking the building up only to have it unlocked by someone who knows nothing and apparently has no interest in let alone enthusiasm for the subject. One of the rare occasions when it is people at such an exhibition that let it down. Even with their limited resource they have enough to inspire and educate and they failed to do either.

Wanted to do this for years. Well worth the wait. Looked at the moon felt as if you could reach out and touch it.

Very interesting tour, excellent orrery and telescope is cool. Very informative tour guide.

Great venue for a music gig, the way it should always be, close and personal, the bar pricing is such a let down, venue organisers should have a rethink, consumers and gig'goers don't like being ripped off 👎🏻👎🏻

Attended our grandaughter's dance group performance. All of the staff were proactively helpful and positive. This, along with the excellent presentation and cleanliness of the venue gave a very positive impression.

Lovely building, drink choice is really bad and a total rip off. The wine is horrible 🤢 the spice rum which anywhere else would normally be Morgans but unfortunately it was Bacardi spice which had a really strong vanilla taste (not a fan) had an non alcoholic beer (staropramen) a bit like earwax! What the hell townhall! We have a great distillery in town, buy local!! Have been to a few shows now, The latest being Ed Byrne which was fab! Staff are always great. The drink totally let's the place down.

Had a brilliant night intge Town Hall watching Ultimate Eagles..very comfortable and staff were very helpful

Town Hall looks absolutely amazing. Did amazing job refurbishing it. Went to the Niteworks gig last night and it was outstanding apart from the bar. We were in the queue for 1 hour!! Absolutely ridiculous and because of it we have missed begging to the band set. On events like this there should be more people working behind the bar.

Halloween in around the corner 🎇🪔

Lovely venue just reopened recently after a multi year refurbishment. Nice bar with a balcony overlooking the Abbey precinct. Great main hall for bands. Very friendly and helpful staff

Lovely Cathedral with loads of great past history and designs. However distance between seats not nearly enough. Son in law is 6'5" and was very uncomfortable sitting, kneeling was impossible. Needs an adjustment rethink on gap distance. No one could pass seated congregation at communion. Otherwise everything else was lovely.

A wonderful church lead by true clergy who a people focussed. Bishop John has such wonderful leadership qualities and extremely close to the people of the diocese. I can’t speak highly enough of the cathedral and positive impact it has on Paisley.

We had our sons conformation in here lovely stunning building and very clean

We were invited to share in a Christening and were made welcome from the start of of visit. The car park is big and access to the Cathedral is via ramps to wide doors.

A beautiful place. Very peaceful

My church

A beautiful peaceful Cathedral.

Great local park. Good for kids play area, sailing yachts in pond, walled peace garden. Cafe sit in, takeaway. Easy parking. Popular with dog walkers. Even a dinky train ride in summer

Beautiful park with a play ground, outdoor gym, a pond with ducks and swans, a cute little train (£1.5 pp), lots of greenery and benches. Perfect for a picnic on a nice sunny weather.

The park is in dire need of some TLC. Visited Saturday 13th July 24. The bins were overflowing. Members of the public were doing litter picking. Good playparks for toddlers and older children too. There is also a part for wheelchair using children to join in which I think is fantastic

First time visiting with the dog, driven past a million times. Parked on main road but worked out there is a car park or two. Wonderful kids play area, was rather disappointed I am an adult now and would not fit down the slide. Looks fab for kids! The pond area was nice. Full of mute swans and i was lucky enough to see some guys enjoying sailing small boats on the water. Plenty of grassy area to walk around. Met some nice people and dogs. Would say the area is well maintained. Bins available and saw worker collecting rubbish around park.

This park is great! It has something for everyone and is big enough that even when it's busy, everyone still has space. The park is clean and has a nice pond too. There's toilets, a cafe and a carpark on site.

A lovely park with good parking access, a cafe and ice cream vendor. The pond is a good size and few circuits give a good workout, there is a peace garden run by volunteers that is quiet and provides a nice place to sit and enjoy the fresh air in peace and quiet. Another nice afternoon circling the pond and sitting in the sun. The Swans and ducks seemed to be having a good time with lots of people feeding them.

One of the first parks that we visited as a family after arriving in the UK and i have to say, it is beautiful! This is a vast open space with a small hill-like climb, a cycling area, a small pond with swans, a children's play area and an amazing walkway! We loved it and would recommend everyone to visit this beautiful place to just take a stroll and let your kids enjoy fresh air.

We were given a very thorough tour by a lovely lady. The showcases cover more than just textile-related history and extend to broader local history. They're a interesting glimpse in those times, thanks to the ongoing commentary. There are also some lovely souvenirs to be purchased (cash only).

Fascinating museum with wonderful volunteers that shared its history and antecdotes. Well worth a visit.

Great cafe on geound floor. One lift. Parking's a bit of a pain. It's often full.

Good points are that this is keeping alive one of the major contributions to Paisley's existence. Not really big enough space and lacking in substance but at least it's still alive! Only open Wednesdays during October to March and then only opened Wednesdays and Saturdays the rest of the year. Wouldn't go just to see the museum but if your in the area on the correct day, why not go along?

Great place. Staff are very friendly

A rich history of thread making in Paisley, not fully opened and staffed yet but hopes to be soon.

Was closed on the day we visit

Nice place very well kept nice waiting area with coffee machine

One of the most peaceful and beautiful cemetery's in paisley, very nice place to take a quiet stroll around any time of the year, highly recommended.

Very helpful staff in the office helped me find my grandad's grave.

Nice setting and very respectfully performed service

Great place to meet old friends

Beautiful setting and building.

Beautiful setting

This is an amazing tour run by the hardworking folks who run the back-end of the city museums. You get to see first-hand many of the artifacts that populate the many museums throughout the city. If you have a specific area of interest, you can contact the resource center and there are tours of specific areas that occur regularly. The general tour just briefly touches on a few subject areas, but even so it is very much worth it. The staff were very knowledgeable and told some great stories. Highly recommended!

Absolute treat. Visited on an hour long tour. Saw various pods with items in. Armour. Vehicles. Egyptian items. World Culture, etc. Fascinating and the guide is very knowledgeable. Specialist tours are available throughout the year. And you can book and request to see certain items. A hidden Glasgow gem.

I was astonished by the GMRC. Glasgow stores more than it exhibits. An artist friend of mine was keen to view Ken Currie paintings not on display at the People's Palace. We viewed them on a general tour. However, if we had booked far enough in advance, we were told we could view almost anything we wished to. But, as we booked on the day, we saw several unexpected exhibits Not on exhibition. Eg a zoo's worth of stuffed animals, armour, William Burrell's home's wall fittings, and much more. All in 1 hour. The guides were fab. An additional Glasgow museum could easily be founded exhibiting the items in store. A fine, splendid afternoon.

I joined the Behind the Scenes Tour and really enjoyed it. Booking was a bit tricky as my email wasn’t answered, but calling worked fine. The tour itself felt flexible and interactive, without a fixed route. It was great to see objects you wouldn’t usually find on display. Overall a good experience.

Had not heard of the tours of the GMRC until I stumbled across a link online so booked onto a tour. Had Grant as our guide who took us through a few rooms of paintings, fossils and taxidermy and he had a great knowledge of the different items he was showing us. We were asked at the start if there was anything in particular we wanted to see but as we didn't know what was on offer we were happy to be shown anything. So if you do have a specific interest in something, you'll be able to request that room ☺️. All in all, it was a very interesting afternoon, something different and I will book back up again to look at some other rooms.

Miss the old transport museum? The smell and stuff you remember is all here. Particular taxidermy animal from childhood no longer at Kelvingrove? Favourite painting gone from the People's Palace? Ask the guide at the start of your tour or email beforehand and they'll show it to you if they can. Went on the behind the scenes tour, was excellent, very informative. A true hidden gem, tours must be booked beforehand but they are free. Will tailor the tour to your interests if you say at the start. Amazing place, extremely knowledgeable guides, will definitely visit again.

The GMRC - Glasgow Museum Resource Centre is where 98% of the treasures that are shown in the main museums in and around Glasgow are held before they go on show. It's an amazing place, the guy taking the tour was such a cool and friendly dude too. I had a wonderful time there, it felt like a real privilege to get a behind the scenes tour of the place and see all the amazing treasures, especially the art, the guide pulled out a big rack with Titian's and Bottichelli' originals, mind blown! Not to mention the ancient Egyptian and Roman wonders. Being so close to such priceless wonders in such an unlikely and private setting was amazing. Obviously the security is unreal there but that's to be expected. I can't recommend a visit enough :);

High on a hill only a few miles from city centre Glasgow and the city's second oldest building after the cathedral. Well maintained with information boards in the different rooms and steps up to the top with fine views. Built around 1400 surrounded by a defensive ditch that dates back to the C12th. Much of it was destroyed in battle in 1489 and then it was besieged in 1544. Unfortunately, it's now surrounded by an ugly housing estate with local youths causing problems to this important relic of the areas history.

Very impressive castle and in remarkable condition considering its history. Entry is free all year round. We parked on the street adjacent to the castle and walked for 2 minutes. The climb to the top isn’t for the feint hearted as the wrought iron stairs feel like they’re ages with the castle, additionally you can see through the gaps of the stairs whilst climbing. The views from the top are stunning and it can get windy too. Lots of information boards dotted around the castle telling you about its history.

Parking so close by. Nice and quiet since we chose a day when no school had holiday. Good for us. However, a good shop or cafe around could be useful. It was free to visit.

Great place to visit, beautiful views. Well kept ❤️

We got there when the sign said it was open, but the gate was locked. We walked around the outside of the fence a little and then left. Hate to give it a review because it would just be because it was closed for some reason that may have been valid and reasonable. We decided to move on to Pollok County Park and explore there instead.

Open upto 5pm, and it's free to visit. If you haven't been yet...go, and take the kids. This castle has all the bells & whistles...dungeons, turrets, Tower & a medieval toilet. This should amuse any 6-10 year old boys who find this funny or amusing. Just like my own Grandsons.

Free to park and enter. Gates open 9.30am at this time of year. Worth climbing the steps up for the views.

Great night last night at Aaron Catlow and Brooks Williams. The sound in the auditorium is fantastic. The staff couldn't have been more helpful. Only reason this is not 5 stars is because the cafe/bar is sort of stark with no kind of ambience at all. Apart from that, brilliant.

Nice venue but the drinks were terrible, warm cider and drinks booked for the interval were warm and flat

Great place. Went for coffee and cake with the family. Good atmosphere, friendly and helpful staff and a good selection of food and drinks all of which are reasonable priced 😉 Would recommend it to all.

Here for a one man play with Q&A afterwards Excellent venue

Theatre. Considering how new- where's the air con? Sweated buckets.

Had a great night at jack and the bean stock... great cast, well portrayed and excellently performed. Great night all in and will definitely be back next year. My we girl just loved it

Best panto in Scotland. Another brilliant performance by the actors and talented kids. We'll be back again next year 😁

Thomas Coats from the famous mill owners family is probably the most venerated and definitely the most philanthropic, being involved in education and giving Paisley most of its better buildings including the church named after him, the library and museum, the observatory and the town hall. The thread mills brought immense wealth to the Coats family. The legacy? Well definitely the buildings, but JP Coats the company he helped found,? Well after a series of cuts it deserted Paisley mostly for India , simple economics or exploitation of the Indian populace? Ironically a mere 40 years on automation probably makes the Paisley option viable again

Typical Victorian statue.

Lovely park for a stroll with flowering trees and awesome fountain

Lovely place especially when sun is out and fountain is going ⛲️🌞

Nice to have a beautiful green space so close to my small flat with no garden. Beautiful fountain and Rabbie Burn's statue make this a worthwhile visit.

A little gem of a park. The highlight is definitely the fabulous fountain in the centre. Victorian design and engineering at its best.

Nice wee open space with an unusual fountain.

This is a beautiful, calming fountain, and carefully restored. It really is spectacular.

Seems very historic and old built park which is quite in a calm and relaxed environment. But was disappointed over the poorly maintained facility, and the place was really uncomfortable and dirty. Council and local MPs should make it a priority for maintaining the public facilities in best possible ways to accommodate the public.

Queen Victoria was a very beloved monarch and reigned for probably the most prosperous time in British history. The British empire was the empire where the sun never set. There's many statues dedicated to her and a lot in Scotland, which is probably reasonable as she fealt most at home here. She visited Paisley on several occasions to great acclaim.

How many freakin statues are here? Gosh, but this one has a nice hat sometimes.

Little bit of history. If you look up the history of this spot it is interesting.

Very big, as she was in later life.

Paisley townhall and Abbey on Guyfawk night

(Walking Tours on Wheels) Annual Paisley Ghost Tours The Gallow Green is one location of the famous seven accused of witchcraft 1697

It's an old well which is now covered and has a very creepy past with witches involved !

Gd to know the history of areas you visit

I am related to the Lindsay brothers

wow

Lovely well maintained monument.

This park seems like a hidden secret. On a lovely warm, dry day we only saw about 6 people in the park. There are swings etc for the children and simple exercise machines to use for free. There is a pond with a small island but best of all are the wide open grassy spaces for walking, sitting or picnicing where you can enjoy the sight of the many magnificent trees.

Nice park for a relaxing walk. They have children's play areas. Lots of greenery.

It's easily overlooked as the entrances are set back from the road. It's worth exploring as it's quite quiet with great open spaces. There's a children's playground at the top of the hill.

Beautiful space with lots of life & scenery. Not alot of activities for teens or grown-ups but 0-5s will enjoy it. There's more that could be included.

Clean,green place. Good to visit with family

Such a lovely big park. Beauliful pond with nesting swans and ducks. I have seen locals putting a rod in and catching fish. Lovely play area for kids. Now has a few machines for adults to exercise. Ideal for exercising your woofers and meeting others with same interest. Enjoy resting on seats dotted around Park and taking in atmosphere

Beautiful park terrible litter issue council needs to empty bins more often.litter pick done by team up to clean up

One of the best garden centres we've ever visited. All plants were alive and well and the choices were excellent. Great cafe with gorgeous cakes and snacks

Down in the area with my wife and two dogs. Was told this was dog friendly so went to check it out. Is it dog friendly? Yes. They have a deviated outdoor seating area and also an enclosed, heated cabin to sit in for when the Scottish weather infant playing ball. Dog water bowls are out and about and they even have a dog menu!!!! I went for the full Scottish and my wife went for the cheese and tomato toasties. Both good. The menu is extensive and so is the cake selection. The actual garden centre is pretty good. Wife bought some plants and they even have a toy shop. Will be back.

Stopped in for coffee n cake one day, then returned a few days later for lunch. Clearly a popular place as it was very busy. Pleasant staff and food very good.

Called there today and was impressed with the whole set-up from plants to the shop and cafe. The cafe was especially good and noticed the outdoor covered and heated room for if visiting with a dog which is a rarely. We'll done we will be back.

Coffee and cakes were good, but after looking forward to sitting in a cosy cafe after a wet walk we were disappointed to have to sit in a cold shed with our dog. There was a heater to switch on, but unlikely to have made much difference in the time we were there

We called in here after a long walk around the Almorness Peninsula and were on our way back to Glasgow . We enjoyed our coffee and soft drinks 😆👍 I would like to pay tribute to the member of staff who posted my jacket/ hoodie back to me 👍I left it behind in the cafe . Thank you so much ☺️ I received it in the post earlier today. 👍😆

Decidedly underwhelming. From the service to the food, whilst not terrible, it was below average. Given the quality of the competition in the town, it would be easy to outshine.

Took part in a workshop on 20th April 24. Despite some cold feet we were made so welcome and reassured by Ewan who had such a patient, understanding and inclusive manner. In the end we had so much fun and loved the process of bringing a memory to life - I mean it won't win any awards but we'll find a little spot for it.

Yesterday I attended the Big Art Show. The paintings, photographs, stained glass and ceramics are stunning. I have visited art exhibitions before but not the same as this level of talent. Look out for Barry Adamson's paintings. You can contact him on LinkedIn and Facebook Marion Gardyne is an Artist. She is running a workshop today from 11am inside these premises. I was there on business as well as leisure. Artwork would make a wonderful gift for a client's family member or friend who can't attend the celebration. I recommend to all of you to take time out and visit the Big Art Show.

A fantastic use of redundant high street retail spaces. A truly egalitarian range of work reflecting the creative heart of Scotland. Great! We’ll visit again soon.

What a Fantastic Art Space! Beautiful light streams in the huge windows. Perfect for all the artistic activities held here. A safe, warm and friendly atmosphere, we feel very welcome. Thank you

Art workshops at the new venue, just as good, relaxed atmosphere with a good mix of people and abilities all being expertly guided by great artists. More of this please!

There is a great exhibition on 'The Teardrop Explodes' art influenced by the Paisley Pattern teardrop. There is also the Accord art show as well

A great open space that has been converted beautifully. We came to watch Chitty Chitty Bang Bang and loved it. Great bar service and comfortable seating areas.
