Touching Souls

Contemporary art lovers will find this small gallery tucked away in Tewkesbury's quieter streets, though don't expect the scale of a major city venue. The space showcases rotating exhibitions from local and regional artists, with a particular focus on work that explores human connection and emotional themes - hence the rather earnest name. During my visit, the walls held a mix of paintings and sculptures that ranged from genuinely moving to slightly self-indulgent.

Families with young children might struggle here, as it's very much an adult-oriented space where quiet contemplation is expected. Art enthusiasts and those seeking a cultural break from touring the Cotswolds will appreciate the intimate setting, though you'll likely have seen everything worth seeing within 30-45 minutes.

Practical information proves elusive - opening hours and admission details aren't readily available, so it's worth calling ahead if you're making a special trip. The gallery sits conveniently close to several holiday parks including Millavon Holiday Park and Tewkesbury Abbey Caravan Club site, making it an easy addition to a longer stay in the area. Combined with a proper look around Tewkesbury Abbey and perhaps lunch in the town centre, it rounds out a pleasant afternoon's culture.
