Galleries & Exhibitions in Plymouth

Plymouth's gallery scene sits mostly close to the centre, and it is small enough to take in over an afternoon. KARST is free to wander and open Wednesday to Saturday, with buggy access throughout if you have a pram in tow. Nearby, 45 Southside Gallery is also free and open every day, with ceramics, glass and textiles made by Devon and Cornwall craftspeople. The Framing Centre & Artmill Gallery is a smaller stop, tucked inside a working picture-framing shop with exhibitions that change monthly. For something different from a straightforward gallery, Kaya Gallery sells pin badges and artwork from £15, including pieces by Robert Lenkiewicz, good for older children with a bit of pocket money. If little ones need more than pictures on walls, Market Hall has a 360-degree dome screen with nature documentaries, a café on site and a kids' menu, though it does need booking ahead and costs from £6. For a free morning with no ticket to sort, KARST or 45 Southside Gallery are the easiest starting points.
