Workshop and upcycling hub

If you are a keen upcycler and would like to volunteer in our workshop, please get in touch. Learn more about volunteering in our shops here.
Accessibility
To ensure this space can welcome all who visit, the building has been redesigned to help ensure accessibility. The original steep steps at the entrance have been revamped and a passenger lift installed. The car park has plenty of blue badge parking bays and an allocated area for adult and child parking, which offer extra room for buggies to be taken safely out of the car.
Toilets, located next to the café, include an accessible toilet and baby changing facilities.
