Horse and Tamer

The Horse and Tamer sits quietly in Warwickshire, a gallery that doesn't shout about itself but rewards those who find it. You're looking at contemporary art in a setting that feels genuinely local rather than high-handed - the kind of place where the people running it actually care about what's on the walls.

What you get depends entirely on what's being shown when you visit, but expect a thoughtful selection of work by emerging and established artists. The space itself has character without trying too hard. It's small enough that you won't spend half a day here, which is rather the point - this isn't a marathon gallery experience.

Perfect for art-focused visitors who'd rather skip the big obvious venues and see what's actually interesting. Those staying at Gate Farm Caravan Club or Somers Wood over near Kenilworth won't have far to travel, and it breaks up a park holiday nicely when the weather turns. Plan for an hour or so, depending on what's on and how slowly you move through work.

The main drawback is the lack of reliable online information - you'll need to ring ahead or just turn up and hope. Warwickshire isn't exactly short of things to do, but if contemporary art matters to you, this is worth hunting down. Not a major detour, but the kind of stop that makes a caravan break feel less predictable.
