Review:
Segue Community Hub & Arts Café is an appealing place to visit while exploring Stratford, particularly for families interested in art, local crafts and community attractions.
The combination of a café, art gallery and gift shop makes it more interesting than an ordinary coffee stop.
The changing exhibitions are a highlight, providing opportunities to see artwork produced by local and regional artists.
The community activities and workshops add another dimension, although visitors should check whether suitable sessions are available during their visit.
Segue's central location also makes it convenient to combine with a walk around Stratford's historic streets and public artworks.
For families exploring Central Gippsland, it provides a relaxed opportunity to enjoy refreshments, discover local creativity and support a worthwhile community organisation.
