Dogfish

The gallery sits in Beverley, a market town that feels properly Georgian if you wander the right streets. Dogfish is a contemporary art space - the kind of place where you'll find work that makes you think twice rather than the safe stuff you see everywhere. Local artists feature heavily, which means the shows change and there's usually something genuinely new on the walls. The space itself isn't vast, so you won't spend hours here, but that's rather the point. Twenty minutes to an hour depending on what's hanging and whether you're the type to read every wall text. Free entry, which is decent of them. It's the sort of gallery that works best if you're already in Beverley doing other things - the independent shops, the Minster - rather than a dedicated trip in itself. If you're staying at Manor Farm Camping just down the road, it's a proper rainy day option or a cultural breather between the usual park activities. Families might find it a bit hit or miss with younger kids unless they're already keen on art, but teenagers who like something a bit different rather than the usual tourist fare will probably get more from it. Worth knowing: opening hours aren't always standard, so ringing ahead makes sense before you head in.
