Images Gallery Anlaby

A smallish contemporary art space in Anlaby that punches above its weight if you catch the right show. The gallery focuses on local and emerging artists, so the work rotates regularly - which means you won't see the same tired pieces twice. Think paintings, sculpture, mixed media, occasional installations.

The setting itself is low-key and unpretentious. No velvet ropes or intimidating silence. You can actually stand close to the work and spend as long as you want without feeling rushed. It's the sort of place that appeals to people who genuinely care about art rather than those just ticking off a cultural box.

Honestly, this isn't a full-day destination. Allow an hour maximum. Better as part of a wider wander - Beverley's barely a stone's throw away and has proper medieval architecture if you want something weightier. But if you're camping at Butt Farm or Manor Farm and want a low-pressure afternoon activity, it does the job.

Contact ahead about current exhibitions and opening times, as indie galleries can be erratic with their hours. Entry details tend to be straightforward once you get through the door. It's particularly good for anyone interested in what's happening in contemporary Yorkshire art rather than the big museum circuit. Not one for kids unless yours genuinely engage with art - there's limited spectacle here.
