The Cider Press Centre
About
The Cider Press Centre is a vibrant one‑stop village tucked into the picturesque Dartington estate. Its central courtyard hosts a lively Welcome Centre shop where visitors can browse unique crafts, prints, and locally‑made goods. In addition to the shop, the centre houses a creative arts space with an outlet store, a glass workshop and a playful café, making it a haven for artisans and design enthusiasts. Large windows flood the environment with natural light, giving the space an airy, welcoming vibe. Beyond shopping, visitors can enjoy the centre’s boutique facilities: a charming art café, an outdoor clothing boutique, a needlecraft workshop, and a small events area.

The shop is open daily from 10 am to 5 pm (10 am to 4 pm on Sundays), while the Welcome Centre remains open from 8 am to 8 pm, Monday–Saturday, and 9 am to 5 pm on Sundays. For the latest opening times, visitors can check the official Dartington website.
