Ucheldre centre is the art enthusiasts’ paradise! At the entrance of the centre, you will find the remains of the old cloister, with the old tower beside which contains the old chapel bell. The bell is still rung during special occasions, adding to the remarkable atmosphere of the venue. The building spotted to the right of the centre, which is now part of the local housing development, was formerly the home of the nuns. They would have previously left this building to walk through the cloisters, past the chapel and to the school which is now the amphitheatre. While wandering the grounds you will be treading the footsteps of previous residents envisioning the building as they once did.
Along the way, you will see wonderful stone archways, the original oak doors, stained glass windows, and old slate plaques. The Ucheldre Centre oozes charm which is simply impossible to resist! The shop room contains the box office and a collection of artwork on sale, as well as a selection of souvenirs to purchase. There is also a kitchen restaurant on site which is ideal for lunches, afternoon teas and private functions. Heading into the courtyard and garden you will find a series of beautiful sculptures and an outdoor seating area - this is a wonderful place to reflect on the spiritual side of the building.
If you find yourself completely transfixed by Ucheldre’s history then you may want to buy one of the books available in the centre detailing its fascinating tale. People say ‘don’t dwell on the past’, but in this case, you definitely should!
