Bridlington Old Town
About
Bridlington Old Town Gallery, nestled in the heart of the historic Old Town, is a vibrant social enterprise that celebrates local art and heritage. The gallery’s building—once the Bayle Gate, a Grade I listed medieval structure—houses an eclectic mix of artworks ranging from watercolour and ceramics to contemporary sculpture by 21 permanent artists, with a visiting artist changing each month. Beyond its collection, the gallery doubles as a tourist information point, offering leaflets, posters and insights into the surrounding historic sites such as the priory church and Bayle Gate itself. Visitors can explore the gallery’s art, learn about Bridlington’s cultural scene, and enjoy a relaxed, community‑driven atmosphere that reflects the town’s rich history and artistic spirit.
