Welcome to Coastal Gallery, Lymington.

We thought you would like to know more about what you will find when visiting the gallery. Whether you are a regular visitor just calling in to see what's new, or someone visiting for the first time; we hope you will find something that you can't wait to take away with you. It might be a present for a special person, or just what you've been looking for to brighten up your home or work place. 

What makes Coastal Gallery special is that the work is mainly by artists and makers who live and work in the local area, including painters, illustrators, a ceramicist, wood-turner and photographer. This gives much of the work an evocative coastal "flavour" - the vibrant turquoises and ochres of Steve Richard's paintings, the stunning colour combinations in Stewart Mechem's canvasses, the rich blues of David Rogers's ceramics, the quirky seaside imagery of Sue Howell's limited edition prints, all capture something of Lymington and beyond.

The gallery and website are constantly evolving with fresh work and changing exhibitions. Check our events section to see what is happening and we promise that the gallery will always be an exciting place to visit.

November sees an exciting three person show. Jane Emberson, Stewart Mechem and Bev Saunders bring a feast of colour and texture to the gallery - don't miss it. The show runs from November 5 to December 3, and the three artists will be available to chat about their work. Jane will be in the gallery on Tuesdays, Stewart on Wednesdays and Bev on Thursdays and Fridays - opening times 10.00 am to 4.30 pm. Click on "Events" for further details. Kate, the gallery's new assistant, will welcome you on Saturdays from 10.00 am to 5.00 pm, so please call in whenever you have the time. Stewart Mechem now has a video about his work on You Tube.

We all look forward to showing you round the gallery, so please come in and see us - watch this space for Christmas plans and more visual treats in store!
