Arts Coritani

The Arts Coritani gallery sits in Boston, a town better known for its medieval church spire than its contemporary art scene. Step inside and you'll find a modest but genuinely engaging space showcasing local and regional artists. The work on display rotates, so there's always something different - everything from paintings and sculptures to printmaking and photography. It's the kind of place where you actually read the artist statements rather than breeze past them.

Who gets the most from it? Art lovers will appreciate the curatorial approach and the chance to see established and emerging talent without the stuffiness of a big institution. Casual visitors won't feel overwhelmed - it's intimate enough that you can take it in properly without it becoming a slog. Families with older kids interested in art will find it worthwhile, though younger ones might run out of steam fairly quickly.

Allow an hour, maybe ninety minutes if you're genuinely engaged. It works brilliantly as a mid-morning activity when you're staying at one of the nearby parks - Orchard Holiday Park and Appletree Holiday Park are both within a few minutes' drive, so you can slip into town, see what's on, grab a coffee, and be back for lunch without any faffing about.

Boston itself is compact and walkable, so you can pair the gallery with a wander round the town centre. Free entry would be brilliant, but check ahead - opening hours aren't always straightforward at smaller venues like this.
