Foxlowe Arts Centre
WHERE
Leek
What it’s like
An arts centre café and events space in Leek with a gallery box office, room hire and a back entrance for wheelchair access.
This is a café-first sort of visit rather than a big attraction with a queue out the door. The Dining Room cafe does freshly cooked food, hot and cold drinks and hand-made cakes, with vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free options if you call ahead to check they can sort your particular needs. It runs Monday to Saturday, 9:30am to 3pm, plus the first Sunday of the month on the same hours, so it's not a place to turn up to on a random Sunday afternoon expecting the doors open.
Tickets for events are bought either online or in person, with the box office tucked away in the upstairs gallery. That's worth knowing before you go, because getting up there means stairs, and the front door is stairs-only too. If anyone in your group needs step-free access, the back entrance is the one to use, and it's listed as wheelchair accessible from that side.
Parking is limited and first-come, so don't bank on a space if you're running late. For anything after 3:30pm the local council car parks are free, which softens the blow if you're heading to an evening event.
Beyond the café and whatever's showing, the centre also does room hire for private parties, workshops, classes and fairs.
