A place to show, share and gather

Flexible rooms for creative and community exhibitions

Cliff House can host art, photography, heritage and community exhibitions. The Assembly Room offers space for a larger display, while the Library can hold a smaller collection, an accompanying talk or a quieter part of the show.

An exhibition can stand on its own or include a private view, opening reception or discussion. The venue team can help you explore a format that fits the work, the audience and the rooms.
