Artorius

Artorius is a contemporary art gallery tucked away in Buckinghamshire, a short drive from Uxbridge. It's the kind of place that rewards the detour if you're serious about art - expect a thoughtful selection rather than the exhausting sprawl you get in bigger institutions. The gallery focuses on emerging and established artists, with exhibitions that rotate regularly, so what's on the walls depends entirely on when you visit.

Who'll get the most from it? Definitely anyone who finds themselves at Wyatts Covert Caravan and Motorhome Club Campsite - it's only about six miles away, making Artorius a decent afternoon outing if the weather turns sketchy. Art enthusiasts and collectors will appreciate the curation, though it's not the kind of place to drag reluctant teenagers to unless they actually care. The gallery is relatively intimate, so you won't spend hours here - plan on forty minutes to an hour to walk through properly without feeling rushed.

Access and timing specifics aren't readily available online, so ring ahead before you plan your visit. Opening hours vary, and admission details are unclear, but it's worth checking their website or calling direct. If you're basing yourself at the caravan park and want a break from the fields and campfire routine, this beats sitting in another café in Uxbridge. It's a proper spot for anyone who likes their holidays punctuated with something slightly more cultural.
