Newtownards / Ards Tourist Information Centre

Make us your first stop for information on places to visit, where to stay, local events and where to eat during your visit to Ards Borough. Situated beside the bus station and within a short walk of the town centre and the main shopping areas, the Centre can provide you with local and national tourist information, accommodation booking service, fax and photocopying service as well as an extensive range of souvenirs.

Ards Crafts, situated within the Tourist Information Centre, provides a showcase of local crafts - ceramics, woodturning, pottery, textiles - and much more available to buy.

We are also home to "The Space" a newly created exhibition area featuring a variety of local history, photography, craft and other exhibitions throughout the year.
