Our Opening Hours
The gallery is open Monday to Friday between 12 and 4pm when there is an exhibition on. Between exhibitions it is closed. Please check "What's On" or phone to make sure we are open before you set off.
The gallery is run by volunteers and, unfortunately, we can't open outside of these hours.
What Does the Gallery Look Like?
The building houses two galleries which we have called the Picture Gallery and the Sculpture Gallery. In practice both can be used for sculpture and paintings. However the Sculpture Gallery is much bigger than the Picture Gallery and thus more suitable for larger works.
Below are some pictures taken from our opening exhibition in for 2007 which give a good idea of the size and appearance of the galleries. Just click on the images to see them full size in our viewer.
The Picture Gallery:-
This has two sections The long front section which is shown in the two pictures below. And a second rear portion which is separated fron the front by a short dividing wall.
