Our last available time for service at Bonhoga Cafe is 3.30pm. Bonhoga Gallery is situated in the Weisdale Mill, originally a meal and barley mill from 1855 until the early 1900s. Subsequently it was used as both a butcher’s shop and tannery before falling into dereliction in the middle of the 20th century. The building was renovated and opened as Bonhoga Gallery in 1994 and, since then, has been
welcoming large numbers of both Shetland residents and visitors to the Isles. Bonhoga means ‘my spiritual home’ in Shetland dialect. Exhibitions
Bonhoga Gallery is owned and run by Shetland Arts. A programme of exhibitions are organised each year for the Upper Gallery featuring local, national and international contemporary visual art and craft. Complementing this in the stairwell and Lower Gallery are smaller-scale exhibitions and a dedicated space for the display and sale of contemporary work by craftmakers from both Shetland the rest of the UK. The Mill Cafe
In the south-facing conservatory overlooking the Weisdale burn, the newly refurbished Mill Café is a very popular spot for coffee and homemade scones. An extensive lunch menu features locally sourced products and specialities, all prepared on the premises and there is a tempting range of teas, coffees and soft drinks. The Gallery Shop
Weisdale Mill also has a shop stocked with frequently changing collections of design-led goods, innovative products, cards, books and hand-made papers. The staff are happy to assist with purchases from the Gallery, craft cabinets or touring exhibition, and can arrange postage of any purchases if necessary.
