Thelma Hulbert Gallery: art in Honiton
Thelma Hulbert Gallery gives a visit to Honiton a contemporary-art focus. Exhibitions of art and craft sit alongside a permanent collection of Hulbert's work at Elmfield House on Dowell Street. A changing programme means the exhibition on offer can be quite different between one cottage holiday and the next.
Admission is free. For couples who enjoy galleries, this can be an indoor stop around a meal or shopping in Honiton. Families can use the Learning Room's art materials and look at the programme of activities; organised workshops may need a booking and have their own age guidance.
Practical access
The gallery describes a ramp to the front door, a platform lift serving upper floors and an accessible toilet downstairs. There is an accessible parking bay in front of the building. Its access page also explains facilities for young families and assistance dogs.
This is a useful indoor choice from Primrose Cottages when the forecast disrupts a woodland walk. Look at the current exhibitions before choosing your day. Nearby Allhallows Museum offers another perspective on making, through Honiton lace and local objects, if your party wants to keep the day's visits within the town.
