The Old Courthouse Gallery (OCG) - Contemporary Arts and Crafts
About
Occupying three floors within the historic Ambleside Courthouse building, this bright and welcoming gallery showcases the best arts and crafts in the Lakes and Britain today. For 2021 we have expanded giving us even more space to display the superb work of our wonderful group of artists. We hold the Visit Britain ‘Go to Go status’ so visitors can relax knowing they can browse in socially-distanced comfort.
A range of media are featured in the gallery including wall art, handcrafted furniture, glass, ceramics, metalwork and jewellery, ensuring a deep and high quality range of pieces for the serious collector or the person looking for the ideal gift or memento.
The Gallery also hosts exhibitions connecting our artists with our customers and for 2021 is offering private views. We have a close relationship with our artists and can often arrange for them to create artworks specific to you.
Our Online Shop provides an easy way to browse our extensive catalogue from home and we would be glad to send more images and provide extra information if you contact us. We can arrange UK and international delivery.
