Basic eating facilies with self service hot and cold drinks, cakes etc. Gluten intolerance catered for very well with most cakes free of gluten which makes a change .. and very tasty too.
The star of the show however is the gallery and the sheer quality and variety of the work on display from over one hundred talented artists. Some of the work borders on genius while all is inspiring. Prices range from a few pounds to thousands and objects from small items such as delightful keyring decor to life size horse sculptures.
We were particularly impressed by the work of Kate Pasvol who produces inspirational 3D effects with glass, inspired in the main by landscapes of Wales. So impressed week we that we walked out with her central display piece safely wrapped and purchased, which was pretty amazing considering we stumbled across this gallery by accident. It truly is inspirational.
The gallery has good parking facilities with tables and grass area suitable for picnics, features a train to fascinate the children and is also ideally located for river walks (part of the Wye Valley Walk), and the River Wye here is indeed particularly beautiful!
One word of advice, this gallery exhibits a range of often delicate fragile pieces of work. As such it is not a play area and care must be taken. There are polite signs on display asking that children's hands be held inside the gallery. One look inside at the nature of the exhibits will show the sense behind this request.
We wholeheartedly recommend Erwood Station Gallery to all, you will not be disappointed with what you find at this treasure
Oh, and credit facilies, if required, are available.
