Such a beautiful gallery shop! Every corner is filled with unique artwork and handmade crafts. The staff were so friendly and happy to share the stories behind each piece. Perfect place to find a meaningful gift or just get inspired. Highly recommend visiting!

I visited on a Sunday afternoon to see a special exhibition. The gallery is small but has a pleasant and cozy atmosphere, making it easy to enjoy the artworks without feeling crowded. Even the restroom had a charming, vintage feel that matched the overall vibe of the gallery. The ticket is valid for a whole year, so I’m planning to visit again sometime soon. Visited in Jun 2025
The Edwardian exhibition runs 11 April–23 Nov 2025. For a less crowded visit, choose weekday mornings outside UK school holidays.
