West Kilbride, Scotland’s only designated craft town, samples the wealth of Scottish craft and design talent. This town features 9 craft studios which are open to the public on Thursday, Friday and Saturday as well as the award winning Barony Centre, an exhibition, activities and events venue. In this beautifully converted former church,visitors can see innovative exhibitions, choose from a range of exquisitely crafted objects and take part in creative activities. Additionally, they can stroll through our picturesque town, meet our makers in their craft workshops and visit the towns independent retailers and makers, all located within easy walking distance of the town centre.
This is somewhere certainly worth a visit on the Ayrshire coast. Well done to those in the West Kilbride community for such creative ways of rebranding their town. The whole Craft Town scheme is very worthwhile and works well (with good signage and interpretation), but the real gem is the Barony Centre. A superb use of an old church into a light and airy exhibition space showcasing the local crafts, plus a very welcoming cafe with good coffee & food.
