What it’s like
Free gallery visit with colouring books inspired by local artist Arthur Berry to keep kids busy while you look round.
This is a proper art gallery rather than a soft play with paintings on the wall, but there's a nice bit of thought gone into the younger visitors: colouring books based on the work of Arthur Berry, so while you're taking in the paintings your kids have got something to do with a pencil in hand. It's free to get in, which makes it an easy one to slot into a day out without any pressure to make it "worth the money".
Hours shift with the seasons, so it's worth knowing summer opening runs 10am to 4pm and winter is the shorter 11am to 3pm, both Tuesday to Saturday. That winter window is tight if you're coming from any distance, so plan around it rather than turning up and hoping. There's no booking link listed.
There's a gift shop on site if you fancy taking something home, and parking is available opposite the gallery on the street, though you'll want to check pricing on the street parking website rather than assume it's free. It's closed for a few days in early April 2026, so that's one to note if you're planning a visit around then.
