Electric Angel Gallery

You'll find Electric Angel Gallery tucked away in North Yorkshire, a short drive from Scarborough's seafront chaos. It's a contemporary art space that punches above its weight - the kind of place where you stumble in expecting a quick browse and end up staying for an hour because something actually grabs you.

The gallery focuses on modern and contemporary work, with rotating exhibitions that lean towards emerging artists and experimental pieces. It's not a stuffy room of oil paintings - think installations, mixed media, photography that makes you think twice. The space itself is intimate, which works in its favour. You're not lost in endless corridors trying to find the exit.

Who'd get the most from it? Anyone with a genuine interest in contemporary art, really. If you're camping nearby - and there's no shortage of options around Cayton Bay and Filey - it makes a decent rainy-day stop or a cultural breather between seaside walks. Families with older kids who can actually engage with art beyond the Instagram moment will find it worth a visit. Younger children might lose interest quickly, mind you.

Do check ahead for opening hours and admission details before you head over - gallery hours can be a bit erratic, especially outside summer. If you're staying at Parkdean Resorts or any of the other parks dotted around the area, it's close enough to pop into without derailing your holiday plans. Worth combining with a walk into Scarborough town centre rather than making it a solo trip.
