V&A Dundee, Wednesday 1st May

It sounds as though the train will be as much fun as the V&A!

Thanks, Marmight for that info. I'll book a on that train and look out for you all at Kirkcaldy.

Meet the rest of you at 11.30ish at the V&A, including Cascats , but no Marydoll that trip.

Cascats, you could maybe get on the train at Kirkcaldy with Ina and me?

I would love to come, but just a little too far for me.

Enjoy!

Great idea Marmight. ?

Oooh exciting! Thanks Elegran. Looking forward to catching up with everyone. Sorry you can't make it Jane.
I'll get the train from Aberdour to Kirkcaldy and maybe meet up with Marelli & Ina there? There's a 10.39 arriving in Dundee at 11.24. Assume it originates in Edinburgh so perhaps Elegran and anyone else from Ed could get it and wave out of the window at Kirkcaldy ?
(Just a suggestion....) The restaurant sounds good too.
Hope the list grows!

Can you add me on as well please.

I visited the V and A yesterday. Have a great time!

What time do you think we should meet in Dundee, and where?

Have done so, Marelli.
That is now 5

Can you add Ina and me, too, please, Elegran?

Lots of info from posters there. Thanks, all of you.

Katek Your name is on the list!

Can't make that date but will be in Dundee at the end of May. We've visited the V&A. Loved the Liners exhibition but it's now over. Not sure what the new one is. Might be worth your while paying to see the new exhibition. There are a lot more rooms on the paid for bit. Only 2 in the free bit. The exhibits in those rooms are interesting but extremely crowded in. If you're interested in the new paid for exhibition it's worth doing. I think it was £8 each for us pensioners.
There's an open cafe downstairs. Nice food but rather an uncomfortable cafeteria sort of thing. A good restaurant upstairs. Probably worth booking a table as it's popular and can be full up at lunchtime.
Anyway, have a great time and hi to Marmight!

Not sure if I can make that date but thought you'd like to know I had a lovely visit a few weeks ago with GC.
They loved the building and want to return in Easter holidays.

Ooh I can probably make this! Put my name on the list please Elegran.

I would love to have joined you, however it’s my DGS1 3rd birthday so won’t be able to join in your fun. Have a great time though. Very interesting venue.

I was at the V&A Dundee last week. It's slap-bang opposite the railway station, a two minute walk away! It's a lovely building and entry is free. There's a restaurant upstairs and a cafe downstairs. The food is good, although not the cheapest, and staff are lovely. Plenty of loos available as well.

We were there at lunchtime at half term. It was busy but not overly so and we didn't have to queue for anything.

There's also RRS Discovery next door, if you fancy clambering round an old ship, and they have an interesting museum. The town is between five and ten minutes walk away if you want more restaurants and shops.
