- HoppityLondon, UK244 contributionsSo we got lucky and went on a glorious September day just before Jupiter was about to close for the winter. But when it re-opens go go go! We went off the back of seeing a couple of photos and wanting to make the most of the sunshine by being outside. Getting there was really easy. We took the X27 bus (you can pay on board with contactless). The bus stop is right by Waverley Station and the bus then stops directly outside the Jupiter gates. It took about 40 mins to get there. Tickets are available from a little kiosk on the entrance road and you get a big paper map of the site which was perfect. Within minutes you're submerged in woodland and art. Lots of art, big, mad, brilliant. And the cutest sheep I've ever seen.Written September 27, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Paul PWashington DC, DC3 contributionsLove this little market. I am there every Sunday for the diversity of the food and craft stalls. Paella is a highlight every time. And Stockbridge is a great neighborhood.Written September 15, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- pete mMoncton, Canada327 contributionsbypass all the tourist trap type knick knack stores and come directly here for your souvenirs, especially if you are hunting for clan tartans. the upstairs portion specializes in knowing which clans owned which tartan, and their history. It can get very crowded due to it's location.Written September 10, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Thomas VOakland, CA19,103 contributionsThis was a fun place to go near the castle area, even though the weather was not good. We liked looking at what was for sale, especially the food products and locally-based stuff.Written July 21, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- JeremiahEcksBristol, UK252 contributionsIt's the same as any leisure park - you've got a Maccie Ds, a Curry's, a TK Macks, a few coffee shops, FiveGuys, and that sort of thing.
However as they go, it looks rather nice with some gorgeous wood panelling decoration above most of the shops.
And indeed most of the shops have lovely staff and look clean and well kept.
However avoid the Starbucks. Messy and extremely slow service. It just had a feeling of 'CBA' - for example the sliding doors were broken but why bother fixing it when you're at one of your busiest times of the year?

The ‘Stitched’ presentation is beautiful, inspirational and majestically staged.
The weavers room is an insight into a beautiful craft worked by some wonderfully talented people. Thanks to those who answered my ever curious questions!
And a lovely coffee stop too. - what more could anyone want?
Definitely recommend a stop in here for anyone interested in stitching crafts and design.Written January 17, 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

The stores are on the expensive side so did not do any shopping here.
It is an open mall and in Sept I wore a jacket,it must be cold during the winter .
There are nice washrooms on every level but for one.
There are several restaurants within this mall as well as a theater on the top level. The restaurant called Bonnie & Wilde is a group of vendors together, quite often lined up but we were not impressed . You had to line up for each restaurant and main bar and then take food to your table . Food gets cold waiting for bar service.
Those who love malls should definitely visit.Written October 15, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Worth it to have a little wonder about and see if there's anything you'd like.Written March 31, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Jim MLondon7 contributionsI dearly wish that the Edinburgh City Art put on a Celtic Revival Exhibition, especially a retrospective on John Duncan, one of Edinburgh's greatest artists.
There's three or four of John Duncan's paintings in the City Arts Centre. He brings such beautiful colour and detail to the canvas to bring a wonderful portrayal of Celtic folklore. You can see he was influenced by the pre-Raphaelites especially Rossetti and Italian art frescos.
The arts centre has the superb Tristan & Isolde the classic mythical Romeo & Juliet tale of forlorn love. They hold the love potion that will make them love each other for eternity, but it was not to be, Isolde is betrothed to King Mark of Cornwall. Tristan is taking Isolde on a ship from Ireland to Cornwall for her wedding. Their tale more or less ends like Romeo & Juliet.
Go across to the Scottish National Gallery and see Duncan's magnificent Saint Bride. At first glance I did not see Saint Bride, I just was mesmerised by the two angels. The designs on their cloaks details Christ's story. Wonderful.Written June 29, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

The coffee could have been hotter, but the food from Rost was amazing - pheasant burger and venison burger both delicious and the best fries ever - crispy and So good with oregano seasoning.

- Brennan J1 contributionI stumbled upon The Red Door Gallery on a work trip, and essentially wanted to buy everything in the shop. I was looking for a new coffee mug for my wife and had looked high and low when I found just the right one at Red Door. Unfortunately, the size I wanted was out of stock so they put me on a waiting list. Then when I got home, they emailed me and created a listing just for me on their website so I would be sure to get the mug I wanted. The level of curation of pieces and attention to service is really excellent. Thank you again Sarah and everyone at Red Door!Written December 10, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Ann Onymus6 contributionsReally chilled vibes overall. I loved the quiet music playing from the speaker - it felt very vintage. The shop assistant at the till was very friendly and struck up a conversation with every customer. The only "negative" I guess is the fact that it's quite cramped.Written August 13, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
