Gallery Resource Area
For each exhibition it is our aim to provide a resource area, where you can find out more about each artist, exhibition work and do some background reading at you leisure
100ft Clock Viewing Tower
A unique feature of the Gallery - if you're feeling fir and you time it right you can see the workings of the tower clock and hear the quarterly chimes from its peal of six bells. You can climb the stone tower and have the best vantage point of the town for a small fee. Looking out to sea...you can see for miles
