Ascot Studios

A new gallery in the UK makes art accessible in the countryside, and shuns the nose-in-the-air attitude many galleries court...

Ascot Studios is an industrial, contemporary art gallery set in the beautiful and historic village of Ribchester in the Ribble Valley, Lancashire.

Specializing in original art available for purchase for homes and businesses, Ascot shows the work of emerging artists in regularly changing exhibitions throughout the year.

There are eight resident artists with a wide range of work on steel, wood and canvas. Among them are the acclaimed artists Angela Wakefield, John Rotherham and Edward Foster. Commissioned artwork can be undertaken to suit any budget or timescale.

The gallery is within an Industrial North Light Building - an old textile mill. The original features of the mill have been incorporated into the space - such as the high ceilings & cast iron pillars, but it is the enormous amount of natural light that lends itself perfectly for the exhibition and production of large scale artwork.

Opening hours are Monday to Saturday, 11am to 5pm.
