Beverley Art Gallery

The gallery sits right in the heart of Beverley, housed in a Victorian building that's as much part of the experience as what's inside. You'll find a decent spread of local and regional art - paintings, sculpture, ceramics - with the sort of rotating exhibitions that mean it's worth revisiting if you're staying nearby at Butt Farm or Cherry Burton Leisure Park. The space itself is compact enough that you won't spend hours wandering (unless you're genuinely keen on contemporary Yorkshire work), but it's a solid hour or so if you've ducked out of the caravan for an afternoon.

This is one for people who actually engage with art rather than just tick boxes. Kids might find it a bit slow unless they're into making or sketching themselves - there's not a huge interactive element. Walkers and culture types stopping over in Beverley will get more from it. The building's on the high street, so it slots easily into a town-centre wander between the markets and the impressive Minster.

The admission is free, which is the one genuinely brilliant bit. No spending your pocket money to find out it's not your thing. Opening hours can be patchy depending on staffing, so check ahead with the East Riding Museums website before you go - there's nothing worse than arriving to find doors shut. If you're based at one of the nearby parks, this works as a decent rainy-day plan or a cultural breather from the usual holiday routine.
