The North Light Gallery

The North Light Gallery sits in Holmfirth, that proper Yorkshire town famous for Last of the Summer Wine. It's a contemporary art space that takes itself seriously without the pretension you'd expect from somewhere showcasing modern work. The gallery rotates its exhibitions regularly, so what's on the walls changes throughout the year - everything from painting and sculpture to photography and installations by emerging and established artists.

You're looking at anything from an hour to ninety minutes here, depending on how engaged you are with the work on display. It's not massive, which means you won't spend half the day wandering about, but there's enough to get a genuine feel for what's being shown. The space itself has character - converted mill buildings aren't unusual in these parts, but this one's been done properly.

Walkers and art types will get the most from a visit, particularly if you're already exploring Holmfirth's streets. It pairs well with the town's other creative spots. If you're camped at Holme Valley Camping & Caravan Park, just two miles away, or any of the other decent sites nearby - Secret Valley Escapes or Whitegate Leisure are both within five miles - you could easily slot this in as part of a wider afternoon exploring the town. Admission details aren't straightforward, so ring ahead or check online before you visit. Worth doing if contemporary art appeals to you; skip it if you're after more traditional fare.
