"they have the cutest cafe once you make it through the intimidating doors! really happy plants everywhere, and some granny chic rattan armchairs"
"The building is beautiful inside and outside. There is a cafe. I will definitely try it next time. Lots of events, exhibitions. Worth keeping an eye on the programs."
"John Kindness exhibition is worth seeing. Really humourous and unusual take on Greek mythology. The artist experiments in many types of mediums including distressed jeans and comics."
"The home of consistently high quality drama at the fringe. I particularly like ‘in the round’ performances in The Roundabout. Particularly good in 2022 were ‘Mustard’, ‘Grandmothers Closet’, ‘Manic Street creature’, ‘Waterloo’, and ‘work.txt’ which was more like an art installation than a drama. It’s the southernmost of the big promoters, standing outside of the main George Square grouping, it has quite a different vibe, in keeping with its ambition."
"Great exhibition. Been quiet a few times. It's rather big, you end up tired after looking around all the rooms but it's worth seeing all the art, from people like us"
