Fantastic place to to immerse yourself in art , refuel in the cafe with a full meal or snack and the coffee is very pleasant. It’s one of those places I look forward returning too.
The building is beautiful, the old Peake Freenes biscuit factory. Very modern inside with lots of oruginal artwork, well worth a visit.
Really beautiful art gallery with a diverse range of exhibits at varying price points. Definitely an interesting way to spend an hour for free.

Fabulous, unpretentious local art. Learned so much about history and culture of the amazing North East - spent 3 happy hours there and will be back. A hidden gem.
Went to see the lindisfarne gospels exhibition. As well as that, the other galleries and exhibitions are really good and there's a well stocked gift shop and cafe. The building is old and has some wonderful ornate architecture.
