Asfordby Art Framing Services

A framing studio rather than a traditional gallery, Asfordby Art Framing Services sits just outside Melton Mowbray and operates as a working space where you can watch craftspeople handle everything from contemporary prints to family heirlooms. It's the sort of place that appeals most to people who actually care about how their art gets presented - those with paintings needing restoration, prints requiring proper mounting, or simply anyone curious about the mechanics of frame-making.

The workshop showcases finished pieces and samples of their work, giving a real sense of the craft involved. You're not looking at grand exhibitions here; this is genuinely about the skill of framing rather than the art itself. Most visits run to about thirty minutes unless you strike up conversation with the staff, who seem properly knowledgeable about materials and techniques.

If you're camped at The Grange or Frisby Lakes Lodge Park nearby, it makes a decent wet-weather diversion or a quick stop if you're into that sort of thing. The real draw of the area is Eye Kettleby Lakes for water sports and walking, which sits just two miles away. Melton Mowbray itself - famous for its pork pies and as a hunting town - offers more substantial attractions, but Asfordby works as a quiet cultural moment during a park holiday rather than a destination in itself. Worth knowing about if you've got pictures to frame or you're genuinely interested in the craft, but don't plan your trip around it.
