Mission Gallery

The Mission Gallery sits right in the heart of Swansea, a contemporary art space that punches above its weight. It's free to walk in, which is brilliant if you're touring the nearby caravan parks and fancy a couple of hours indoors without breaking the bank.

Inside you'll find rotating exhibitions - mostly modern and contemporary work, which means it's not your stuffy traditional portrait hang. The space itself is stripped-back industrial, all exposed brick and clean lines, which actually complements the art rather than competing with it. On a wet South Wales afternoon, it's exactly the kind of thing that makes a caravan holiday feel less like you're compromising on culture.

Walks and photography enthusiasts will get something out of it, particularly if there's an exhibition on that interests you. It's not a full-day attraction - budget two hours maximum unless you're properly into the work on show. Kids might find it a bit dry depending on what's on, though the space is small enough that they won't get bored wandering.

If you're staying at Swansea Marina Tourer Park just down the road, it's practically on your doorstep. The city centre location means you can combine it with a walk along the promenade or a coffee stop without any faffing about. Worth checking what's on before you arrive though - the programme changes regularly and some shows will appeal far more than others.
