Right in the heart of St Leonards, Exeter lies Gallery 36, a former care home turned informal gallery and sculpture garden run by owner Veronica Gosling.  Gallery 36 has been evolving since it’s inception in 2003 when it was first established following Veronica Gosling’s relocation to Exeter from The Forest of Dean where she ran a rural gallery for twenty years.

During that time The Barn at Hay Farm, a Georgian farmhouse turned arts centre became one of the focal points for Gloucestershire’s artistic community.  Over the years an annual exhibition developed, attracting artists and visitors from across the county and beyond.  Hay Farm was described by one as “a secret special place that people find and then want to bring their friends.”  Gallery 36 is that sort of place.

Gradually as the secret of Gallery 36 is being discovered it is becoming more firmly rooted on Exeter’s map of already known Arts venues.

For those who cross the threshold of 36 Denmark Road, a rich and thought-provoking visual experience awaits.  The Gallery is home to a permanent exhibition of works by Veronica Gosling.  In fact “art runs riot through the whole house, along corridors and up walls.”

One room has been set aside for Veronica’s ceramics; plates, mugs and teapots vividly painted and glazed in Veronica’s unique style. Tableware is dishwasher and ovenproof and available from a starting price of £6.
