This gallery is a wonderful space and the exhibitions are always great. Cafe good too!

A fantastic gallery space with interesting exhibitions. The current one, ‘Visceral Canker’ is cohesive yet varied and is enhanced by two films that may be viewed featuring the now passed artist.

Massive community of artist studios. I went during the open studios; there was a mind-boggling amount of creativity and beautiful artistic output under one roof. If you miss the open studios, there are often public exhibitions and a diverse range of workshops (print, ceramics, etc.) also available throughout the year.
Andy Reynolds
An art space with a nice cafe attached. Lots of practicing artists are housed in the studios. There is a large exhibition space showing a wide range of contemporary art. Free to get in. Always thought provoking. Occasionally pleasingly bonkers! The open weekend is always worth looking out for when you can explore the creative spaces and chat to the artists. It has an excellent print community with lots of equipment and opportunities to get involved.
