Smart Monkey Picture Framing

You'll find this picture framing gallery tucked away in Redruth, a market town that's seen better days but still has plenty of character if you know where to look. Smart Monkey Picture Framing is the sort of place that rewards curiosity - a proper working gallery where the owner actually knows their craft, not a chain outlet flogging mass-produced prints.

The space itself is modest but thoughtfully arranged. You're looking at framed artwork, local artist pieces, and the kind of bespoke framing service that appeals to people who actually care about presentation. It's hands-on stuff - the sort of gallery where they'll discuss mounting options and glass finishes rather than just shift pre-made frames off the shelf.

This works best for visitors with a genuine interest in art, design, or the technical side of framing. It's not a place to while away an hour with restless kids, but if you're the type to stop and read the artist statements, you'll find it worthwhile. Allow 20-30 minutes unless you're commissioning a frame, in which case expect a proper conversation.

As a standalone outing it's slight, but it slots nicely into a broader Redruth wander - pick up a Cornish pasty, nose around the town's mining heritage. If you're based at Lanyon Holiday Park or Little Menherion Glamping, both close by, this makes a decent wet-weather stop or a midweek browse between beach days.
