The Ark Cafe

Your community focused café

Our very successful café, right in the centre of Marlow, opened at the beginning of September 2021, Come and help celebrate our 5th anniversary in September 2026!

We provide drinks, food and snacks, but more importantly: a safe space for the Marlow community to come together.

The ethos of the café in particular is to create a space in the centre of Marlow where all may find a place and a sense of belonging.

To keep updated on the Ark Cafe activities, check out our website regularly.
