Corris Craft Centre

We are delighted to announce that Corris Craft Centre is welcoming visitors back safely. The Craft Studios, Y Crochan café, Bwtri Welsh food and drink shop and our toilets are all open.

CRAFT STUDIOS
Corris Craft Centre offers 9 individual craft studios home to traditional and contemporary Welsh crafts. Meet the talented designer makers and see many of them at work, making their unique designs. Items handmade at the Craft Centre include rustic furniture, glassware, candles, chocolates, herbal lotions and remedies, jewellery, pottery, traditional wooden toys and multi award winning artisan gin. Also starting from the Craft Centre are a range of visitor attractions providing something for the whole family.
Situated in the foothills of Southern Snowdonia, the Corris Craft Centre is at the heart of a traditional slate mining village with the surrounding hillsides hiding miles of disused underground tunnels and caverns. The village of Corris, which can be seen from the Craft Centre, is a sea of Welsh slate rooves.

HANDS-ON AND FUN ACTIVITIES
There's lots of opportunities for hands-on fun in many of the craft workshops including pottery painting, candle dipping, chocolate making, herbal crafting and furniture building.

Y CROCHAN CAFE
At the centre of the Craft Studios is Y Crochan cafe where delicious local produce is used across the all-day menu. Look out for the monthly specials featuring fresh seasonal and local produce. Seating available indoors and outdoors.

SMALL CHILDRENS' PLAY AREA
The small childrens' play area is a great place for little ones to let off some steam. There are swings, a slide, small climbing frame, fireman's pole and small ride-on rocker animals.

WELSH FOOD AND DRINK SHOP
Linked via an archway from the cafe is Bwtri Y Crochan a Welsh Food and Drink shop where you'll find shelves of mouth-watering produce which has been grown, reared and produced often within a few miles of Corris. Welsh food and drink hampers are a speciality and available all year round.

EXCITING VISITOR ATTRACTIONS
The Craft Centre is also the starting point for the Corris Mine Explorers adventure (winner of The Best Activity / Experience in Mid Wales 2019/2020), Lost Legends of The Stone Circle outdoor storytelling maze and the King Arthur's Labyrinth underground adventure (unfortunately, and in line with Government advice, King Arthur's Labyrinth remains closed). There's also a Tourist Information Point.

OPEN
Open throughout the season. You may find some of the makers working during the winter months but it's always worth checking, with the individual craftspeople before making a special journey (individual contact details can be found on the Corris Craft Centre website).
