About Us

The Beach Hut Gallery (Co. No. 06610299) is an Artists’ Co-operative based at Kents Bank railway station  on the shores of Morecambe Bay .The gallery was founded by Judy Evans and Beverley White with the then secretary Denys W. Vaughan in June 2008, we have proved to be an important link for local artists. With donations from The Co-operative Society NW. and the train company responsible for Kents Bank Station we were able to renovate and convert a station building for use as a gallery.

We have 5 member/directors:

Locally, tourism can be the focus for regenerating towns, new hope for communities and sustaining artistic and cultural activity of our historic and natural environment. This is why The Beach Hut Gallery is important

The main aims and business objective was to foster and support the principles and concept of co-operation amongst artists and the community, making art and crafts accessible to the general public and aspire to deliver high standards and pursue our personal ambitions.

We aim to increase the level of social enterprise in and around Kents Bank.We  provide a viable and co-ordinated level of social enterprise in a friendly and business like manner.“The Hub” managed by Cooperative Mutual Services provided us with support to set up this project and provided a “Mentor” to guide us to the point where we are today..
