Corner Gallery

Corner Gallery sits in Boston, a town that doesn't exactly shout about its cultural offerings. But this is precisely why it's worth poking your head in if you're staying at one of the nearby parks like Orchard Holiday Park or Big Sky Hideaway. It's a proper independent gallery space - the kind that gives you a real sense of what's happening in the local art scene rather than regurgitating the same touring exhibitions you'd see anywhere else.

The gallery focuses on contemporary work and rotating shows, so what's on the walls changes regularly. You won't spend hours here - it's intimate rather than sprawling - but that's rather the point. It's the sort of place where you can actually absorb what you're looking at without feeling pressured to move through at speed.

Best suited to anyone with more than a passing interest in art, though it works well as a rainy afternoon escape during a park holiday. If you're travelling with children who'd rather do anything than stand in front of paintings, this probably isn't the stop for you. Adults looking for something beyond the usual seaside amusements will find it worth the detour from Appletree Holiday Park or Long Acres.

Bring a camera if photography is permitted - the gallery's relationship with Boston's broader streetscape often proves more interesting than you'd expect. Check opening hours before you visit, as independent spaces can be inconsistent with their schedules.
