What visitors say
Great gallery and well curated with a wide range of pictures from local and other artists. Regular special exhilbitoons and and talks mean that there is always something new to explore. There is also a cafe on the ground floor serving hot and cold drinks, lunch and cake. Well worth a visit !

Lovely art gallery and café! Beautiful décor and amazing paintings to look at whilst you enjoy delicious food and tea! The prices are very responsible for a City Centre Café! Definitely worth a visit.

A lovely free art gallery. There is one exhibition where you pay, but plenty to see without that. The cafe is in a beautiful spacious room with more pictures on the wall.

The gallery itself is not large, but it has interesting collections of paintings and different sections. Personally, I liked the photography section the most.
