ImaginHare

ImaginHare is a gallery tucked away in Aberdeenshire that caught me off guard - in the best way. It's the kind of place you'd miss if you weren't looking for it, which is precisely why it deserves a proper visit when you're staying in the area around Turriff.

The gallery itself is focused on contemporary art and creative work, though the exact nature of what's on display will depend on what exhibition they're running when you visit. I'd recommend checking ahead before you go, as these smaller independent spaces can have variable opening patterns. The setting in rural Aberdeenshire gives it a different feel from city galleries - quieter, more intimate, and you won't be jostling with crowds.

It works brilliantly if you're staying at Turriff Caravan Park and fancy breaking up a park holiday with something cultural. You're basically on the doorstep. Art enthusiasts will appreciate the independent curator's eye, though those after a major institution experience might find it slight. Families with younger kids could feel the space is a bit limited for a full afternoon, but teenagers with genuine art interests will get something out of it.

Allow an hour at most, unless they've got something particularly substantial on. Free or paid entry - you'll need to confirm directly, as details aren't readily available online. It's worth the five-minute drive from your caravan, but don't plan your entire day around it. Pair it with a walk around Turriff's town centre or head out towards the broader Aberdeenshire countryside for a fuller day out.
