I love this place. My friend took me here again recently to get my birthday present. It was this awesome crow head... Fits nicely on the top of a bottle :) this sculpture was made by the very cool and talented teacher there... I named him Edgar after Edgar Allen Poe and he is sitting nicely in my art studio now in Leeds. I will be popping back to buy more art soon :)
Very relaxing and welcoming - attended for the mindfulness group and stayed on for lunch; I can highly recommend the veggie chilli. Sometimes it's a dish that can be very bland, but the food was amazing - very tasty and presented well - staff are always welcoming and accommodating... would definitely recommend a visit - also had a great art exhibition on and a garden space
Nice space and very nice atmosphere with tutors there teaching drawing and many many other things, you want to learn. There also a cafe - make good coffees, teas, etc. Very good value for money. It serves veggies during lunch time. It also provides very very good evening meal once a month. Yummy yummy.
This place is a real diamond, we visited to play a charity event in aid of mental health. But it's main function is as a place that supports the Arts as therapy. The cafe walls are adorned with beautiful art works and has a warm and welcoming feel; seating is tastefully colour co-ordinated, and fairy lights adorn the walls, giving an instantly relaxing environment. The cafe served a range of drinks and locally made food. Service is friendly and it is definitely worth visiting for one of their musical nights!
This is an amazing place, so welcoming! It's a place where I have been able to be creative and also work on managing my mental health alongside people who understand because they've been there too. Inkwell is open to anyone who has an interest in all things expressive and creative, I highly recommend popping in to see what's on offer!
