Top 5 Art Galleries in Cornwall

Barnoon Hill, Saint Ives TR26 1AD, United Kingdom

“Like the Tate St Ives, we have visited this museum and gardens on several occasions over the years since we were kids…and if you’re visiting one, you may as well visit them both! …”

Restormel Rd, Lostwithiel PL22 0EE, United Kingdom

“This is an English Heritage site. it's a very well looked after site and worth a wander around, car parking is free, at the entrance their is a small shop where you also pay to get in if you're a non member, you can also grab a coffee or tea if you need a drink, and some picnic benches are available too. It has some good views of the surrounding country side from the top of the walls which you can access from some steps, also you can have a guided tour as well.”

Sancreed, Penzance TR20 8RB, United Kingdom

“This place is spectacular! The car park is hard to reach (even by Cornish standards) down a long and narrow lane which increasingly feels like a private driveway, but trust and press on - you’ll be well rewarded! 👏🏻 …”

Par Moor Rd, Saint Austell PL25 3RP, United Kingdom

“Really surprised by how lovey this place is. Got loads in here yet still spacious. They have lots for all ages. Under 2 area is the largest I seen in all the soft plays I’ve been to with my little one. They have lots for older ones as well as a bouncy castle, trampolines, arcade section. The staff are really friendly and helpful. Lovely experience. A bit of a drive from where we live (about 35-40 mins) but would bring my little one again as he really enjoyed himself. Really clean and reasonable priced.”

Tintagel PL34 0HE, United Kingdom

“Nice piece of art, integrated nice within the landscape and history of the land... It is not the statue of King Arthur... please read about it... If you are in the area and visiting the Tintagel castle of course worth stopping for a moment and admiring the statue... and for couple of more moments admiring the background formed by the Cornish coast and Atlantic Ocean.... You can only visit the statue by buying tickets for Tintagel castle, as inside the castle land, or you can admire it from the far, from the coast path...”

7a Fore St, Newquay TR7 1HB, United Kingdom

“Brilliant place, well organised, great tattooists and friendly staff. 6 of us went in, picked our tart, paid and got the voucher, really cool dude shaved my leg and stencilled, lovely lady tattooed me. Simple as that but absolutely superb.... Nice coffee too and motorcycle in foyer 🤠 thanks and will see you again. 2 friends have been in since on our recommendation and loved it.”

Municipal Buildings, The Moor, Falmouth TR11 2RT, United Kingdom

“Visited the exhibit of ‘The Legend of King Arthur: A Pre-Raphaelite Love Story’. I had always wanted to see The Lady of Shalott in person. I visited Tate a while ago but it was being exhibited elsewhere at the time. Now it’s exhibiting in Falmouth and it was just great to see. Such a great exhibit overall. Displayed well and with a shop.”

Little Vauxhall, Redruth TR15 1AS, United Kingdom

“Cornwall's archives. Lovely conversion of old brewery building to super new research centre. Study rooms, library, and all usual archive facilities. Very pleasant reception area with exhibitions, cafe & toilets. Well worth a casual visit and, if prepared, you can have a productive day of research.”

Jackson Foundation Gallery, N Row, St Just, Penzance TR19 7LB, United Kingdom

“Thoughtful multi-media art showcasing hidden Cornwall. Kurt Jackson sees Cornwall through a truly romantic lense and captures it using anything and everything (multi-media) until he has the essence of what makes Cornwall charming and real and wild stored in the canvas or linen or paper or silver or poem etc... His art smacks of a man wholeheartedly focused on expressing his love for a place in as many ways and as accurately as possible in the time he has been given to do it.”
