Abbot Hall Art Gallery

Kendal, Cumbria

The Gallery is housed in one of Kendal’s most important buildings, a Grade I listed villa, on the banks of the river Kent. The galleries offer two floors of light-filled spaces in which to see art. The intimate rooms and tranquil setting are used to show British painting and sculpture, without pretention or overload, to uplift the spirits in an enjoyable and relaxed atmosphere.

As well as a fine permanent collection, Abbot Hall is widely acknowledged as having one of the most imaginative and independently minded exhibition programmes outside London.

Abbott Hall is managed by The Lakeland Arts Trust (charity no. 526980) which also runs The Museum of Lakeland Life on the same site, and Blackwell the Arts and Crafts House ten miles away at Bowness-on-Windermere.
