Castle Park Arts Centre

Nestled in stunning parkland, this vibrant arts centre occupies the beautifully converted former stables of a historic house, transformed into a creative hub during the 1980s.

The Centre hosts diverse events, workshops, and classes for all ages across its five gallery spaces, craft units, welcoming coffee shop serving fresh light lunches, and versatile workshop rooms. Visitors can enjoy a constantly changing six-week programme of inspiring visual arts and unique handcrafted works from local and regional artists—perfect for finding that special gift. The Centre also serves as a vital community gathering place for numerous local clubs and societies.

During the open days, explore the site's fascinating history, browse the galleries, and wander through the park's manicured gardens with views of the house exterior. Daily at 11am, enjoy free music performances in the covered courtyard, and children can create their own keepsake artwork featuring the iconic clock tower.

Artist demonstrations run every Saturday from 11am-2pm in our galleries—drop in and watch the creative process firsthand.
