Hancock Gallery

A lovely gallery in the perfect location to pop in for a cuppa and to admire some art. I was greeted by Chris who was warm and welcoming, and very knowledgable about the artwork and artists featured. The gallery is in a beautiful old townhouse building, and the overall environment is relaxed and friendly. Easy parking right outside. Can't wait to come back!

Brilliant place. Very family friendly with lots for kids to do.

Absolute Gem of a place, but I would have come here just to talk to the Gallery Manager, Chris Morgan. What a great guy. Because it wasn't busy we were able to talk about Art and Art galleries for a good half hour. He has hosted exhibitions abroad and is very knowledgable; just great to talk to. But I should also mention the Art as obviously that's what I went for. Exhibited in 6 rooms across three floors of this Georgian House, I think there something for everyone here. If you like Acrylic Screenprint "Pop Art" then you'll be drawn to Dan Parry-Jones exhibition on the Ground Floor. My personal favourites were the "Oil on Canvas" portraits of Mark Demsteader and the contrasting rather stark and gritty works of Sam Wood (think flat caps), both on the first floor. Being an old building there's no disabled access to upstairs areas, however, in conversation with Chris, he said he was prepared to bring art works down to the individual by prior arrangement. As with the Biscuit Factory Art Gallery nearby, I think it's a privilege to be able to go and see Art for free, particularly given these are commercially run galleries.

Excellent museum that isn’t too large. Our 3 boys: 8, 6 & 3 had a great time. The T Rex was wonderful!

Came here on the shaun the sheep trail, and I didn't even know that this gallery was here. Had my bike with me, so I couldn't see inside the gallery. Will definitely be back to look inside
