City Art Centre
2 Market St, Edinburgh EH1 1DE, UK – 0131 529 3993
Was there for a training day to become a Ciity Festival volunteer. I have never been to such a badly run training day, in all my life It was sadly lacking in quality of presentation skills, did not feel welcome by team who put this on. The Art Centre it's self and exbition are very good. Centre staff helpful.
Visited in the snowy Easter holidays with my three year old granddaughter. Absolutely brilliant during the Science festival. Kept a bright toddler busy all day. Good food in the cafe, buggy friendly, calm space with good facilities and friendly staff. Plenty for kids of all ages at the science festival
