Sheila Fleet - The Kirk Gallery & Café

The Kirk Gallery & Café is a showcase of Sheila Fleet’s jewellery designs within an inspiring gallery space, and complemented by incredible locally-made food. This beautifully-renovated former church stands in the grounds of the Sheila Fleet Jewellery Workshop in Tankerness, Orkney. Browse Sheila’s designs in purpose-built display cabinets while soft-coloured light streams in through the Kirk’s original stained-glass windows. Admire the spacious interior, which includes examples of traditional Orkney stone-work combined with a touch of architectural inspiration from Sheila’s travels. The original pulpit, brass lamps and other Kirk details all enhance the feeling of this special place. Then ‘take a pew’ in the Kirk Café and enjoy some sensational food. It’s the perfect place to savour delicious Orkney fare as you consider that special purchase. (The Kirk Café serves drinks & homebakes all day. Hot food served 10am-3pm Mon-Sat, and 11am-3pm on Sundays. Café closes 4.30pm.)
