Like others have already mentioned there is not too much going on here. We visited on a Saturday early afternoon so I think all units that would have been open at any time, were open. Maybe 8-10 artisan units open. Having said that it was still a nice thing to do. There were painters, ceramic shop, antique/curios shop, natural fragrance shop (which was really nice), jeweller and a few others. It’s situated in a courtyard away from all traffic so it’s lovely to amble around and safe for kids also. The cafe is the star of the show and made the whole experience even better. If you go with the right expectations you will enjoy this. It’s relaxing and the artisans were all very friendly to have a quick chat with. …

Visited today. We had coffee and scones in the cafe. Very pleasant. Sadly that’s where our visit began and ended. The shops in the centre were closed!!! It was a beautiful morning and there were quite a few visitors about. Have to wonder what the point of the area is.

Actually was a complete waste of a walk. There are a few arts and craft shops but most were closed and what was there was very disappointing. Honestly won’t be back.

We wondered into this area hoping it would be brimming with local art ect . The only thing doing well was the cafe. Only one local artist was displaying her work (which was very nice) nothing else was open. We went twice hoping more shops would be open . It is almost abandoned.
