Nice experience, worth to spend money on the ticket instead of pints.

Very clean and tidy with Impossiblely friendly staff, great layout and tours, currently have a Harland Miller exhibition taking up all of the downstairs....I know local & famous etc but it's not for me.. but that's personal choice. Exhibition of a lot of plates no title that I could see maybe hosting a traditional Greek wedding. Was it worth £8.50? Absolutely and I will be back
