Roundhouse

Industrial heritage meets contemporary art in this converted railway roundhouse that's been transformed into an exhibition space. The circular building retains much of its original Victorian character, with soaring brick walls and that distinctive curved architecture that once housed steam locomotives.

Art enthusiasts will find rotating exhibitions showcasing local and regional artists, though the programming varies considerably throughout the year. The space works particularly well for sculpture and installation pieces that can make use of the generous height and unusual circular layout.

Families might find it a bit hit-or-miss depending on what's showing - contemporary art isn't always a winner with younger children, though the building itself is impressive enough to hold their attention for a quick look. Allow about an hour for a proper visit, less if the current exhibition doesn't grab you.

Being just outside Skegness, it makes for a decent cultural pit-stop if you're staying at one of the nearby holiday parks like Creekside Family Camping Anderby or Cherry Tree Springs Touring Park. It's the sort of place that adds a bit of variety to a coastal break, especially on one of those grey Lincolnshire days when the beach loses its appeal. The building alone is worth seeing - proper Victorian engineering that's been given a new lease of life.
