Grange Gallery

Thank you to all of our visitors today ♥️

Presenting ‘Christmas at Grange Gallery’ 🎄🎁♥️

Our magical window display is now revealed and has certainly been spreading festive cheer throughout the town! It is a 1:12 architectural scale model of Grange Gallery, with Santa and his reindeer flying high above the roof top, all designed and made here at the gallery workshop by Jason and painted by Esme.

Our window displays always give a nod to the past, the apples always make an appearance because from the mid 1920s -90s the gallery used to be ‘Best’s of Wareham’ a greengrocers/florists and prior to that from the 1840s -1920s ‘E. Dugdales’ a Bookshop & Stationers that also sold toys. 🧸 🥁🎄

Both galleries are open tomorrow from 10am, pop by an look at the window display and join us for our first weekend of Christmas at Grange Gallery. It’s the perfect place to be inspired and shop for those quality gifts designed and made by Esme and Jason Cameron, and selected local artists and makers with special guest exhibition by Dorset’s Coastal Collective.

The first of our ‘Meet the Maker’ events start tomorrow, Sat 16 Nov, 11am - 1pm. Coastal Collectives’s Chris and Ed of Orris Leather and Kate Ashton Prints will all be here at Grange Gallery to welcome you, share their creations and answer questions about their inspirations and techniques.

🕰️ Gallery Hours: Weds - Sat, 10am to 4pm and Sun to Tues by appointment.

We were very honoured to be nominated and presented with a ‘Highly Commended’ award by the ‘Wareham Community Growers’ for Local Business as part of the ‘Wareham In Bloom’ competition 2024.
