Lost In Translation

Lost In Translation is a gallery near Cheltenham that trades in contemporary art and installations - the kind of place where you'll either have your mind properly opened or you'll spend twenty minutes wondering what on earth you're looking at. Both reactions are valid.

The gallery focuses on experimental work and pieces that sit somewhere between the conceptual and the visceral. You're not here for safe, wallpaper-friendly landscapes. This is art that wants a conversation with you, whether you're ready for one or not.

It's the sort of stop that works brilliantly if you're into current artistic practice or keen to see what's happening beyond the mainstream gallery circuit in the Cotswolds. Families with restless kids might find an hour more than enough. Art students and creative types will linger. Walkers passing through the area could easily miss it entirely, which is probably fine - you need to want to be here.

The Cheltenham location puts it within striking distance of several caravan parks if you're basing yourself locally - Coxhorne Glamping is just four miles away, and Severnside Boat & Caravan Park a touch further. That said, opening hours and admission fees aren't publicly listed online, so you'll need to ring ahead or check their social media before making the journey out. Better than turning up and finding the doors shut.
