The staff are very friendly, knowledgable & helpful and a warm welcome always awaits, this gallery doesn't feel stuffy unlike some I have been into in other towns.

There is nothing intimidating about Novus Contemporary Art, a family owned gallery in Didsbury, and…read morethat's what I love about it. There are probably some art purists out there who hate the concept of a gallery that is warm, welcoming, reasonably priced and varied, but for me these can only be pluses. Supporting local artists as well as established names, you can see everything from abstract to still life in originals, limited edition prints, sculptures, ceramics and glass. I've become something of a familiar face in here because everyone is so welcoming and happy for you to spend as much time as you like appreciating the art. There's nothing bad I can say about this place.

Rotherham Art Gallery has had quite a bit of work done to it over the last few years and is finally…read moreback up and running how it should be. It's free and there are many paintings and pieces from local artists. The York & Lancaster Regimental Museum is housed in the same space. The staff and friendly and it's in a good location near the bus station.

Not many people seem to be aware that Wakefield has an art gallery, which is a shame because it has…read moresuch great potential. Even more of a shame is that this potential has not been developed - the gallery is small and cramped, has few exhibits and those that there are are not that inspiring, which I find incomprehensible considering that the area has spawned such artistic talent. They do run various workshops and activities for children, which I have not attended and may be worth a visit, but personally, to see art in the area, I would recommend visiting the sculpture park in Bretton instead.

Small art gallery on 3 floors. Very cramped, but some interesting work. Some exhibits are changed…read moreon a reasonably regular basis. Some art trolly's dotted round the place for kids to draw pictures and complete activities. Worth a visit if you've nothing better to do but not worth and outing in its own right (in my opinion). Due to be replaced by The Hepworth gallery in 2009/10 which is currently under construction.

Gallery 3 is a light and spacious art gallery in the Barton Marina Complex. The staff greet you…read morewith a smile and pass the time of day, which is a nice touch. Most of the pictures in Gallery 3 are either originals or limited edition prints, with a good mix of different media - watercolour, oils etc. There are small alcoves that highlight a particular artist, where you can sit in a comfy seat and peruse some stunning paintings. Next to each artists group of paintings, was a photograph of them, with a piece about their life and inspirations, a nice idea. Art is very subjective, but for me the large oil paintings of a bustling Piccadilly Square and a Parisian street at night were the pick of the bunch. Obviously being mostly originals, the prices were high, but I genuinely thought some of the paintings were worth their price tag. You can even get a limited edition print by none-other than Mr Rolf Harris!

Everything pictures! This is an established family run business in Cleethorpes on Alexandra Road,…read moreoverlooking the seafront. The main element of the business is that of art gallery and picture framing. The range of prints and original artwork available is outstanding. Where outside a big city will you find art by the likes of Todd White? you wouldn't expect to find it in Cleethorpes but yes, the limited edition (95 prints only) releases which are hand embellished by Todd White have been on sale here, albeit not for long because you can't get them for love nor money. Traditional watercolours to modern prints can be found here and prices that are surprisingly cheap - the Todd White pieces were only £700 each. If you need something framing then this is the place to go. Forget any of these bargain basement type places because they often don't have much of a clue. Mig (the owner) just has an eye for framing. He just knows exactly what will look best. When I need something framing I don't even bother thinking about what I want because I just leave it up to him and know the end result will be perfect. Finally upstairs of the gallery is an art studio which hosts lessons for all levels by famous watercolour artist Leslie Treacher.

Well you'd be hard pushed to get in or out of Halifax without noticing the Dean Clough building…read more It's nationally renowned as a prime site in Halifax and it's not just a business emporium. It does house quite a few private businesses and office space but it has so much more to offer than that. First up take some live theatre and music. The Crossley Gallery has fast become a key place for many Jazz acts to come and ply their trade. You've also got the Viaduct Theatre which attracts classical music and of course live stage productions. If that's not your thing then the art galleries are pretty impressive. They get some really interesting exhibitions and change them about quite regularly. Add to that a nice design shop, café and a restaurant and it's a treat that you'd maybe not expect to find in these industrial looking walls. Loving your work here.

I work in this building and have to say - it's quite a nice place to be…read more The offices are a bit mixed - some are lovely and refurbished and some are a bit old and grotty but I think they are in the process of doing up the whole place. It's a nice central clean building. The viaduct cafe is nice and the Design House Restaurant is pretty decent too. I like the galleries here - it's quite nice during a stressful day to wander downstairs and look at the pictures or sculptures - helps calm me down and face the day. There is also a very nice gift shop.
