There are many different ways to enjoy a hot cross bun, a personal favourite might just be lightly fried in butter and topped with yet more butter! They’re equally as delicious with bacon, egg or cheese, or even as a hot cross bread and butter pudding.

Available on the counter to eat in or takaway, they’re selling quickly but another freah batch will be available from around 1pm today!

Have you been in to see our current exhibition?
ANE HJORT GUTTU | MANIFESTO

28 January to 14 March
Wednesday to Saturday, 10am - 4pm
Screenings begin on the hour and half hour
Free admission, all welcome

An inevitable pang of recognition will arise in any viewer who has studied at, taught in, worked for or otherwise interacted with any higher education institution over the last two decades.

Herb Shellenberger, Berwick Film & Media Arts Festival, 2021
Ane Hjort Guttu’s film Manifesto, 2020, (27 mins) speculates on the aims and purposes of institutional art education. It follows the fate of a small art academy as it is fused into a large university. The students and staff band together to resist the new administration and secretly self organise, creating their own courses, programmes and leadership. Drawing on her own experiences as an art teacher, Ane Hjort Guttu explores what is lost when creativity is replaced by order and provides action plans for how to be the playful rebel.

Ane Hjort Guttu is a visual artist and filmmaker based in Oslo. Her practice explores the relationship between freedom and power, how we navigate public space, individual autonomy, and the social, economic, and political conditions of art.
