Designs Café is a pottery painting café and art studio at the Cider Press Centre in Dartington, just outside Totnes in South Devon. You’ll find us in Unit 3A, among the courtyard of shops and studios at Shinner’s Bridge.

There’s an on-site car park at the Cider Press Centre — the first two hours are free, which covers a two-hour pottery painting session. The nearest bus stop is Shinner’s Bridge on the A384, about a minute’s walk from our door. Totnes railway station is roughly five minutes away by car, and it’s a 22-minute walk from Dartington Hall along Dartington Hall Drive and Foxhole, mostly flat all the way.

The café is wheelchair accessible and there is a step-free route in.

We don’t have a phone line, so email is the quickest way to reach us: info@designscafe.uk. You can also message us on Instagram @designscafeuk. Painting with a group of more than six? Email us first and we’ll arrange the details with you.
