Nurture.

Nurture is a contemporary art gallery just outside Chichester that focuses on craft and design work - the kind of place where you'll find yourself stopping mid-stride to look at something properly. Think ceramics, textiles, jewellery, and sculptural pieces from established and emerging makers. It's small enough that you won't need the whole afternoon, but substantial enough that you won't feel short-changed either.

The gallery appeals to people who actually care about how things are made. If you're the type who notices the glaze on a bowl or wonders about the thinking behind a piece of jewellery, you'll find yourself lingering. Parents with teenagers interested in art and design will get more from it than families with young kids - there's nothing interactive or loud here, just objects to look at and think about.

Once you've done Nurture, you're perfectly placed to explore the rest of Chichester, which has enough Georgian architecture and local history to fill another few hours. If you're camping nearby - Chichester Lakeside is closest at just over a mile away - combining this with a walk around the cathedral city gives you a solid half-day's plan. Check ahead for opening times and any admission fees, as galleries like this can be variable. Worth fitting in if you're already in the area, though not the sort of place you'd drive an hour out of your way for.
