The principal business is an art and craft gallery however it is also complimented by a highly successful and popular ice cream business with in the same unit, which is partially divided off from the main gallery. The area used for picture framing is also partially partioned off from the main gallery.
The gallery stocks original, high quality art and craftwork sourced from artists and crafts people in Cumbria and the UK. With a selection of work including ceramics, original artwork, prints, sculptures, local slate products, jewellery, furniture, hand printed textiles, silk scarves and much more.
