Churro

Churro is a gallery operation in Derbyshire, just outside Sheffield, though tracking down specifics about it proved frustratingly difficult - no website, opening hours buried somewhere online, and admission details that remain unclear. That's the honest reality. What you're looking at is a contemporary art space, the kind of place that appeals to people who actually care about what's on the walls rather than those seeking a tick-box cultural experience.

The gallery sits reasonably close to several campsites in the area - Fox Hagg Farm, Wyming Brook Farm, East Peak, and North Lees are all within easy striking distance if you're basing yourself in the Peak District. It works well as a wet-day plan when you've had enough of walking boots and moorland, or as a break from the usual holiday park routine.

Before you head over, ring ahead or hunt down their current details online - the lack of readily available information is genuinely annoying, and you don't want to turn up only to find it's closed. Gallery hours can be erratic, especially for independent or smaller contemporary spaces. Admission, if charged, won't break the bank, but that's speculation on my part.

It's worth a visit if you're serious about art. If you're the sort of person who drags their family to every attraction regardless of interest level, give it a miss. Anyone camping nearby should absolutely check what's showing before they arrive - you might find something cracking, or you might find it's not your bag. That's the nature of smaller galleries.
