The Croft Gallery

The Croft Gallery sits quietly in Wiltshire countryside, a modest space that punches above its weight. You're looking at contemporary art and craft work, mostly from regional artists - the sort of place where you might actually find something you want to take home rather than just snap for Instagram.

It's the kind of gallery that works best if you're genuinely interested in modern work and emerging talent. Don't expect big names or blockbuster exhibitions. What you get instead is a chance to see what's happening in British contemporary art without the London gallery crowds or the pretension. The space itself is unpretentious, which somehow makes the work stand out more.

A visit won't eat up your whole day - reckon on 45 minutes to an hour if you're being thorough. It's worth combining with a wander around Botswicky Copse nearby, which gives you a proper feel for the area beyond the gallery itself.

If you're staying at Nordic Glamping at Botswicky, it's virtually on your doorstep - just five miles away. Ideal if you want to break up a relaxing glamping weekend with something cultural but low-key. Not a must-do, but the sort of stop that reminds you there's proper artistic work happening outside the major cities. Worth checking ahead for opening times and any specific exhibitions, as independent galleries can be a bit variable with hours.
