Situated on the sea front in Swansea Marina, this stunning building was designed by Robin Cambell in 1989 and was used by the Swansea Astronomical Society until 2009.
The top of the tower has a stained glass feature designed by David Pearl, and the observatory included a telescope which was the second largest of its kind in the world.
It’s been tastefully and lovingly transformed into a cafe, restaurant, bar, function room, and accomodation. This space has it going on – wow!
I had a cup of tea and some amazing Nonna’s doughnuts to take out – they have a stall in the market.
Here’s the breakfast/brunch menu:
With a balcony hugging the ground floor above the Swansea sands it really is an amazing place to be…..
Pizzas are served from 12pm and they also have a cocktail menu.
The Swansea Astronomical Society was established on 13th February 1948, and is the oldest astronomical society in Wales. The Society meet up every second and fourth Thursday of the month and meetings are held at the UWTSD Campus, IQ Building in SA1.
