Corona Virus
Due to the current Corona virus pandemic we are currently closed to the public and at present have no firm date for re-opening. Obviously, planned exhibitions have to be put on hold until the situation resolves. We will try to keep everyone up to date as and when we have any news.
We hope you all stay safe and well during these challenging and unusual times. We look forward to meeting you again in the gallery when the situation reaches some sort of normality.
FUTURE EXHIBITIONS
We will publish future exhibitions as they are confirmed.
