Gosh Gallery

The gallery sits just outside Newark, a proper surprise if you're touring the Nottinghamshire caravan parks. Gosh Gallery focuses on contemporary art and craft - the sort of place where you'll find work that actually makes you stop and think rather than shuffle past in five minutes.

What you get is rotating exhibitions across a decent-sized space. Paintings, sculptures, installations, sometimes photography. The quality varies depending on who's showing, but that's galleries for you. It's the kind of spot where local and emerging artists get genuine wall space, which means you're not paying London prices to stand in a crowd.

This works best for art-minded visitors rather than kids or anyone after a quick cultural tick-box. If you're stopping for an hour, you'll have seen everything. If you actually engage with the work, you could spend longer. Worth checking their website before you go - opening hours and admission fees aren't readily available, and exhibitions change.

The real win is proximity to Clumber Park and the other sites dotted around the area. Pair it with a morning at Clumber Park Caravan and Motorhome Club Campsite or Sherwood Castle Holiday Forest, then head into Newark for lunch and a gallery browse in the afternoon. It's low-key, unpretentious, and if you're not bothered about art, you won't feel like you've wasted the trip - Newark itself has enough half-decent cafes and shops to make an afternoon of it.
