Overall Ratings
5.0 based on 18 reviews
Displays relating to Robert Burns and his stay in Irvine - an audio-visual, evocative murals, fascinating objects, books, paintings and manuscripts - all housed in an Edwardian town house, itself impressive. Irvine Burns Club, established by friends of the poet in 1826, manages this nationally-recognised venue. (Scottish charity no. 018485.)

Spent a couple of hours here and it is well worth a visit, they have soo much to tell and show. Interactive videos aimed at both old and young and people who want to tell you all about Burns time in Irvine. The people are friendly welcoming and very knowledgeable and are able to pitch the talks whether you are just interested or an aficionado. The items on display from Burns life and more are fabulous and some of the will blow you away. No charge but worth a generous donation in the box on the way out Well well worth a visit just to see his hand written manuscripts.

If you go to Millport, you just have to climb on the crocodile for a ride - it's tradition! One my partner (in his 60s) and I (50s) were delighted to uphold on our most recent visit, so it really is for kids of all ages ;-)

Eglinton park is a lovely place to go walking and running in. There are lots of paths and interesting things to see. Follow it up with a visit to the cafe for tea/coffee and one of their cakes.

We popped in here Sat lunchtime in the off chance there was space. We were delighted to have a table for 4, enjoyed the soups/sandwich combos, panini and burgers. Lovely cakes and lots of options for dietary restrictions. Such friendly, attentive staff- even with it being so busy and the other COVID restrictions. We’ll definitely go back soon... esp for the cakes!

We took a group of 20 Primary age children for a chocolate making workshop as part of a holiday club activity. Workshop exceeded our expectations and all the children had a fantastic time- they are very keen to do activity again. Workshop included making chocolate bar, chocolate lollies, chocolate spoons, got to taste test a variety of chocolate and ice cream. Lime tree organised 2 quizzes all about the world of chocolate with an abundance of prizes- lots of chocolate!!! Workshop itself gave children great independence to become chocolate makers. On a personal note Lime Tree is popular in our household for the variety of ice creams. Would highly recommend chocolate workshop and Lime Tree products.
