The gallery owner, Dennis Kilgallon, moved his creative business here from Kirkharle Courtyard a few years ago. Some of his larger sculptures are placed around the car park and in the courtyard at the back. The gallery is in a large, well-lit barn conversion and is accessed by a door in the side of the building. A few pictures and artefacts are displayed on the ground floor but the main gallery is on the first floor and accessed by stairs from the lobby. Attaining the top of the stairs one is greeted by a large airy gallery with plenty of natural light from expansive windows and large skylights in the roof. Dennis kindly invites visitors to partake of a cup of (real) coffee. Gina Southgate's impressive pictures (predominantly of jazz gigs, but landscapes as well) are displayed to good effect at all levels of the gallery. Judith Davies' ceramics (some of which are made to be held and felt, as well as seen) are admixed with some of Dennis Kilgallon's own work.
