A Warm Welcome awaits at Oriel Davies

People who visit OD regularly describe us as warm, welcoming and friendly. Everyone who visits is greeted by one of our staff team when they first come into the gallery – that’s always the way.

Now though, as the temperatures drop and the cost of heating rises, we want to extend that warm welcome to those that are interested in who we are and what we do. We’re an independent charity. This is your space and you are welcome here. You don’t need to have a reason to come to Oriel Davies to spend time and keep warm – just come in, make yourself comfortable and let staff know if you need any help (staff may be wearing a sweatshirt with DAVIES written on the back). We may not be able to meet all your needs but here’s what we can offer:

• We have free exhibitions to see.
• We have a cafe with underfloor heating. All proceeds go towards our programme. You’re welcome to sit in here as long as you like.
• We have a programme of events, many of them free, that you can sign up for and join in.
• We have information on more resourced ‘warm banks’ nearby, details of other supportive organisations in the area, and a community noticeboard for information about what’s on elsewhere.
• We have an accessible, gender neutral toilet.
• We provide warm fleece blankets made from 100% recycled material.
• You are welcome to bring your own portable devices to charge them and use our Wi-Fi for free.

We look forward to seeing you!
