An interesting art gallery in the centre of Garstang with many individual and highly desirable items of tasteful artwork to purchase. A lovely shop to browse and, if you have the means, to buy an item for your home.

This is a really nice gallery with high standard paintings and ornaments in a bright, finely done and modern style. Usually fairly local artists with nature as a theme. Whenever we're in Garstang we always go in.

If you are a dog owner, avoid Artroom as you won't get a friendly reception, they can afford to turn your custom away. Spend your cash at Mill Bridge Gallery in Skipton or Platform Gallery in Clitheroe both of which have a great selection of high quality work from local artists and welcome our canine companions.
