This arts centre lies at the old Netherbow Port, the principal gateway to the Old Town. Like the nearby John Knox House Museum, it is run by the Church of Scotland. There is a vegetarian cafe and meeting area which provides a peaceful corner in the centre of town. The centre is supported in its storytelling role by the Scottish Arts Council, with speakers and tellers appearing regularly in the evenings. Children's workshops and storytelling sessions are usually held at the weekends. Please check with the centre for up-to-date listings and seasonal timing.
