Ards Art Centre

The Ard’s Art Centre was a surprising and rewarding find for me over the past year or so. A friend of a friend works there and had often said to call in when passing and so one day a few weeks ago I did.
I discovered not only a town hall but several large spaces which are used for various events from all around Northern Ireland.
There are gallery spaces for local artists to display their work, large function rooms housing everything from face painting in the summer to guitar festivals in the Autumn. The building is large, bright and welcoming so if you are in Ards for a few hours and want to know what to do call in and the friendly staff (ask for Graham!) will give you leaflets about local attractions.
