The Beach hut Gallery is based in the railway station building of Kents Bank on the shores of Morecambe Bay. The gallery commands a sweeping vista over this famous bay, renowned for its seafood and wildlife and which is without doubt an artists paradise.
Inspired by the success of their annual Witherslack exhibtion over the past twelve years, established artists Beverley White and Judy Evans decided that the group needed a permanent exhibition space. This was found in the redundant part of Kents Bank Railway Station, a lovely victorian building which needed to be put back into use.
With the help and support of The Co-operative Group United Region, Network Rail,
and Northern Rail, train operators responsible for Kents Bank station the gallery is now open. The co-operative now has seven artists sharing the work involved , in 2010 Judy Evans, Chris Benefield and Beverley White were joined by Fran Brown, Martin Copley, Robin LeMare and DJ Roodhuyzen.
The Beach Hut continues to provide visitors with a special experience presenting known and loved work from some of the best artists in the region plus invited exhibitors bringing an element of freshness and suprise.
