Is there anywhere that visitors can buy refreshments or gifts?  

Our Coffee Shop, run by volunteers, is open between 9am - 8pm.

Our Reception Shop has a range of toiletries, seasonal gifts and cards.  We also have a selection of second hand books available to borrow, or buy, in the Reception area.
