Landscape Gallery
Steam Gallery
Workshops
All change…. we are moving.
After much thought and consideration we have reviewed our business and the level of commitment that is required to keep both galleries running. Over the past couple of years Don has found that he is not able to get out with his camera and create new images so much, which is after all how all of our beautiful images start out. In order to get back to being a landscape photographer proper, we have decided that later this summer the Willows Gallery will close down and all our gallery activity will be moved to Cheddar. We have had just short of 5 years at the Willows & Wetlands Visitor Centre and have met many customers, some who are quite regular visitors and we will miss it a lot, however my decision to become a landscape photographer back in 2006 was based on being able to get out with my camera more often, and this is no longer happening.
The new gallery in Cheddar Gorge is already open. The Gorge is a popular tourist destination with plenty to see and do plus cafes’ and shops to browse. We are located in Queens Row, The Cliffs, Cheddar, BS27 3QE, opposite the main ticket office for the caves. Cheddar is open 6 days a week, Tuesday to Sunday 10.0am to 4.30pm, (Closed Mondays – except bank holidays).
The current “Willows Gallery” will remain open at the Willows & Wetlands Visitor Centre, Stoke St Gregory, until later in the summer, currently September, but we will advise if this changes at all.
Here you can view my images as before in framed and mounted forms plus see the stunning new Alumini and Acrylic finishes that we have available. Willows Gallery opening hours are usually 10.0am to 4.0pm Tuesdays to Thursday’s and Saturdays.
Sorry Willows Gallery will be closed on Monday’s & Friday’s in the coming weeks (whilst it is still relatively quiet) so that we can fit in other parts of the business such as workshops etc.
We hope that we will continue to see you visit our new gallery at Cheddar Gorge.
