We provide versatile exhibition space for Gloucestershire artists in the lovely Montpellier Gardens , Cheltenham. Our annual footfall reaches 22,000 per annum.

There is a new exhibition every week. We are currently open all year apart from January, and from Wednesday through to the following Tuesday lunchtime.

OUR HISTORY AND OUR PEOPLE

Built in 1900 our Gallery has had an interesting history.

Hazel Kichen and Bob Freeman were the driving forces behind setting the gallery up in 2007. Today it is run by a team of volunteers.
