The Old Lock Up Art Gallery

Contemporary Art Gallery - selling fine art & ceramics. Opened July 2017. The Old Lock Up Gallery is situated within a beautiful stone building, built in the 1700’s, in the beautiful and historic Derbyshire village of Cromford. The building itself is steeped in history – as it was owned by Sir Richard Arkwright and used as the village jail, one of the first of it’s kind in the country.

The Old Lockup Gallery manages, without fail, to host an annual program that would make any small gallery in London feel proud. Whilst supporting and championing local artists the space also manages to invite artists from all over the globe in its annual postcard show, you would be forgiven for not knowing that this space is managed and run by a single person. Alongside the exhibitions you can engage with the gallery with one of its many artist lead workshops from life drawing to painting, often complimented with drinks and food. Honestly the gallery is fantastic, always fresh and something the local community should be proud to host. Visit often and where possible offer a donation to keep it open, I promise you will miss it if it ever leaves us.

Reviewed By sheldonhousemonyash - Monyash, United Kingdom

We first found this Gallery over 2 years ago when looking for picture framing service, and absolutely loved the paintings. In fact, we came away with 3 very large maps which Carole framed for us, and 2 paintings. We have been back several times since and have bought several more paintings either for our home or as gifts. The Gallery has changed and improved over time and Carole has also branched out into clothes and gifts. Although a compact space, it is definitely a place to browse and immerse yourself, looking for treats. However, it's the paintings of the local Peak District landscapes which we like best - the expansiveness and huge skies over moorlands and crags are so expressive and moving. Well worth a visit and a purchase - sizes and prices vary but all are extremely good value.
