Great visit for exhibition

We visited for the current exhibition Mid-century Modern, an exhibition about mid-twentieth century design, with an emphasis on Mary Quant. There was easy access via the door in Infirmary st, and it was possible to have level access around the exhibition. We also took the lift to the viewing gallery to watch the weavers below, really very interesting. There were several other small displays here too. Masks were worn, numbers limited due to booking being necessary.

Colourful, serene and so much space!

Fantastic exhibition and studio to explore; a complete hidden gem! From the outside Dovecot looks little more than a cafe and shop, but once inside the craft and creativity on display is absolutely inspiring. Access is wonderful throughout.
