The craft centre itself is based on a victorian street and it really does feel like you have been transported back in time. The street noises playing out including church bells it was quite surreal at first. There are 16 different shops which sell a range of goods including jewellery and candles as well as a bakers. I bought some buns from the bakers and they were lovely and cost 75p each. Also there is an icecream palour and I have a yummy icecream which cost £2. Great place if your after something different to do and looking to buy more unique good rather than off the highstreet.

Pocklington Arts Centre, also known as the oak house, has gained a reputation for its live-events…read moreand film programmes, in only a short period of time. the venue, which has a 200-seat auditorium and 70-seat studio space, has provided film screenings, live music, theatre performances, comedy clubs, art exhibitions and conference facilities, since opening in 2000. before it re-opened it had been closed for a few years, it was originally a cinema with 2 screens and then it became an arcade and closed down. till the council took it over and it became the oak house Previous performers include: Barbara Dickson, Steve Harley, Midge Ure, Dave Gorman, The Reduced Shakespeare Company, Curtis Stigers, Jenny Éclair, Barry Norman, John Hegley, Al Stewart to name but a few. when this place 1st opened it was a relief as the nearest cinema was around half an hours drive in any direction, but it has wierd opening times and don't open on a wednesday, so can't use orange wednesday tickets here! and most films shown, are later then the national release dates. but it has hosted some really nice indoor farmers markets? and school fares and productions. when midge ure played the tickets were literally sold out before the event was released! as the saying goes in pock, is its not what you know, but who you know! the cinema itself is basic, and seating is of the itchy kind but pleasant enough for the price you pay. but doesn't have the big screen appeal! it doesn't seem to hold that many day time events now, possibly because of the stupid 1 hour parking restrictions, in the town center!

Gets some big names there due to the hard work of the staff. Good selection of films too, often blockbusters, but more suited to the more arty or foreign films popular amongst its regulars. The art exhibitions are usually of a high standard and well publicised. Definitely a venue to support.

The staff are friendly and attentive and the recently renovated bar is nice, if a little cold and functional, but there's never too long a wait to be served and the drinks choice and prices are good for a theatre. Apparently, with the current local government cuts, the theatre is now under threat of closure. Please pledge your support by signing the petition on your next visit.

The updated bar is quite nice but I wish it wasn't quite as contemporary as it is. It can feel a little cold and unwelcoming (if not for this I'd certainly use it as my local) but aside from that it's a great place.
