About us
Perched on the edge of the Tamar estuary where river meets the sea, Ocean Studios is situated in the middle of Royal William Yard. Constructed between 1825-1831, The Royal William Yard’s distinctive tall stone walls were once a military triumph but are now a jewel in Plymouth’s historic crown.
Ocean Studios is part of the Real Ideas campus (which includes the Devonport Guildhall and Market Hall), and home to many creative projects in the city. The courtyard contains vast murals painted by talented south west artists.
Inside the Real Ideas Café and Exhibition space, discover regularly changing exhibitions, a retail space containing locally made prints, gifts, and jewellery, and a really great cup of coffee.
They offer some savoury food including pasties and toasties, bread supplied by Heyl Bakery .
Café open for sit in guests, exhibition spaces Mon - Fri 9am-4pm, Sat-Sun 10am-4pm.
