Gallery Cafe

The Bibbern Gallery and Cafe is open to the public from 9am - 4:30pm, Monday to Saturday. Manned by our friendly team of volunteers, visitors can enjoy a tea or coffee, or perhaps a delicious Purbeck Ice Cream, in a warm and friendly atmosphere. The cafe has Wi-Fi access available for users who wish to access the internet. The space also provides an exhibition area for local artists and, with the works changing on a monthly basis, it's always worth popping in to see what's on display.

During the evening and for our events and shows, the cafe transforms into a relaxing bar area where guests can enjoy a drink with friends. Open every weekday evening, why not take advantage of our Loyalty Card. Pop in to the Bibbern Gallery today to find out more.

The Bibbern Gallery

It has been nearly five years since the late Paul Hart, set up the art group in The Exchange, and since his untimely death, The Paul Hart Art Group have carried on in his tradition, and have gained many new members along the way.

They are a group of like minded people who wish to spend two or three hours on a Saturday morning painting and drawing, and enjoying the camaraderie, supported by paid tutor Cath Broadway. The group actively encourage children over 14 years, studying G.C.S.E and A Level Art to attend, plus they support adults who are returning to study, and currently have one adult who is studying a painting degree.

They are always happy for the public to come in and view their work, and ask as many questions as they like about what they do. New members are always welcome, and can join at any time So if you are interested in viewing their work, or you would like to join them, then come along to the Chivrick room, between 10am and 1pm on a Saturday morning.

This is the groups 4th Exhibition and members will be exhibiting works using a variety of mediums and subjects. Cath, their tutor, is a local ceramic artist and will be exhibiting her pottery. The exhibition will run until Saturday 12th May.
