The Fountain gallery is an asset to Bridge Road. We need somewhere like this. Although it is a…read moresmall shop it is amazingly effective. The premise is that it is a cooperative art gallery. It is collectively run by 18 artists who showcase their work here on alternate times. The Fountain Gallery also have guest artists. Usually each artist is allocated a certain period of time in which to showcase their work. I believe that the times are not fixed. Most artists seem to take it over for about a month. During this time they oversee the gallery, so customers can come and talk to the artists about their work. The art comes in a mixture of forms. Generally it is painted work, most in watercolours, sometimes there are photographers who exhibit their work. Occasionally there are potters. Although the gallery closes at 6, I have often walked past and seen open evenings, it is worth phoning ahead to find out what is on.

If you're a fan of accessible art and like making new discoveries this is a lovely little gallery…read morethat warrants a regular visit. It's a co-operative of many artists so the exhibitions change frequently and, as a bonus, are run by the artists themselves. Come here to enjoy the art in relaxing surroundings, perhaps with a glass of wine to enhance your pleasure. Talk to the artist and buy anything from a postcard to a limited-edition print or even a full-blown oil painting or sculpture. If you want to turn yourself into a work of art you can sometimes buy, or commission, a pretty piece of original jewellery too.

This is a gem of a find, tucked away in the village of Compton…read more The gallery is the only one in the UK dedicated to a single artist, and contains the works of George Frederic Watts, the 19th Century British Symbolist painter whose works also hang in the Tate Gallery in London. Married to the potter and philanthropist Mary Fraser-Tytler, the developed the site as a centre for teaching pottery and other artistic skills. The gallery opened in 1904 but has been expanded over the years. Designed in the Arts & Crafts style, the galleries are top-lit to display Watts' paintings under natural light. The complex also includes Limnerlease, the artists' home, now a museum, a shop, contemporary art gallery (with rotating exhibitions) and two studios where courses are held. It is known for its lectures and events. Most people, however, just visit for the tea shop and the lovely grounds. The tea shop is housed in the same building as the shop, but there's a separate serving hatch if you want to eat outside. In high summer, they erect a large marquee and serve meals in the garden of the gallery as well. On our visit, we sampled the Welsh Rarebit (one with mushroom & tomato, one with bacon & sausage). Served with a salad garnish on a thick slive of sourdough bread, these were filling and delicious. They also serve an extensive collection of cakes. We've found service to be a little haphazard when it is very busy, though it is always freindly, and it such a lovely spot we come back again and again. The site has two parking areas, but it does get busy in summer (there is also parking at Limnerlease and the Clore Learning Studio, opposite). The village itself is also known for the Watts Memorial Chapel, which is a short walk from the Gallery and can be visited at the same time. The chapel - with an astonishingly lavish interior in the British Art Nouveau style, with Celtic, Eqyptian and Romanesque inspiration - was designed by Mary Fraser-Tytler, second wife of George Frederic Watts.

I'm perhaps a bit biased about this museum since it features the house I grew up in. However, I've…read morevisited it recently in order to entertain the kids, and my parents house didn't really feature in their opinion as the most enjoyable bit! I think the museum offers enough interactive exhibits to keep younger kids who will tolerate a museum. They show what life was like for soldiers over the years, there's a tank simulator (definite hit), a lorry driving simulator (not as good as it sounds) and a tunnel that the kids can crawl through. For the adults, there are easy-to-read panels enabling you to digest information about the hisotry home of the British army without going into so much detail that you get lost. Outside, and in the outbuildings, there are approximately 20 military vehicles including the impressive Chieftain tank, an old army ambulance and a couple of troop carriers (one of which they allow you to climb inside). If you're lucky, you'll see some of the maintenance crew working on a vehicle. They we're happy to answer questions and reveal the history of the vehicle. All in, an interesting place for the kids and adults who want to learn more about the history of the relationship between the army and Aldershot.
