The Gallery occupies a spacious and well-lit unit in the charming William's Yard which already…read morefeatures homeware boutiques and gift shop Lily and Lime. Situated within a sunny flagstone piazza, The Gallery has the feel of a conservatory with a variety of original paintings and photographic prints on display for sale among white orchids and verdant palms. There is a wide variety of cards for sale alongside mid-range limited edition prints and larger pieces of original artwork. The Junior Artworks club is extremely popular, taking place on Saturdays 10-12 and 2-4 and it is recommended that sessions are booked in advance to avoid disappointment as places are limited to eight children for each class. Previous sessions have seen these eager budding artists painting in a contented hubbub, inspired by the artworks on the walls. Classes are not limited to children and The Gallery run a variety of painting and photographic courses within the premises and on location in The Derbyshire Dales. The Gallery is run by Debra and her daughter, an absolutely adorable pair and this new venture coincides with their move from Norfolk to the local area. Not only are they extremely welcoming, their enthusiasm for the works is contagious and if I lived in Melbourne I have no doubt I would have found myself booked into a course or two! It is well worth popping by if you're in the area. The Gallery is unpretentious, family friendly and there is a cafe a mere stone's throw away.

He judges people and because I'm a fairly youngish lad in jeans and Parker with a few tattoos he just kept on making me feel like I couldn't afford the item I wanted. Well his loss because I was going to order 4 more after the first was done, found somewhere else now with staff that don't look down their nose at people!! AVOID and shop around for another framers!!

This small, local gallery has some great artwork on rotation and available for sale. Exhibiting…read morelocal artists, this brings a breath of fresh air to an otherwise quite un-cultural town. Although it only consists of one room, the quality of the artwork available is really very good- and there's a good variety of abstract, fine art, and portraits, so something for everyone. The artwork is of course, expensive, but it's worth going for a quick browse and just to appreciate the art. The staff members have always been very friendly (I don't think they get many visitors) and helpful whenever I've visited.
