the venue
Cafe Collective, Bideford
Cafe collective is a small friendly cafe situated on the corner of Grenville Street, Bideford. The owners are keen creative people who produce fantastic food. They provide our students with gorgeous cakes and beverages during the classes. The classes run in the downstairs space which is private and warm. The cafe is only a few steps from the historic pannier market which we use as inspiration for our townscape classes. The location is very convenient with car parking in the Pannier Market car park or on Bideford Quay. Buses also run frequently to the Quayside.
