Currently, the daytime café is open 6 days per week.

Suppliers can book a viewing time, at their convenience, with OneRen’s Catering Manager, Diana West [diana.west@renfrewshire.gov.uk]. Attendance at the venue will not form part of any evaluation process if your organisation decides to submit a bid for this opportunity once published.
