The Christmas Plan: We Ditched the Guide
✨Welcome to December!✨
This year, we’re doing Christmas differently. No glossy gift guide, no curated lists, just honesty, heart, and a gallery positively bursting with brand‑new artwork that’s just landed. After moving the gallery across the city and adding hundreds of new pieces to our website, we realised the best “guide” we could give you is the art itself.
So here it is: our website is your gift guide.
Why We Ditched the Guide
As a small, independent gallery, every moment counts. Instead of pouring weeks into a curated Christmas guide, which takes weeks to create, we devoted our energy to filling the space with fresh artwork, crafting a calendar of exhibitions, events, and workshops designed to immerse you in the festive spirit. The result? Things to see, do, and experience that are far more exciting than any listicle.
Your Christmas Master Plan
Your mission is simple:
• Explore the site.
• Find something stunning.
• If you’re stuck or can’t choose - get yourself hooked up with a voucher. It can be used on any artwork or framing.
• Be the undisputed main character at the dinner table this Christmas.
Come to the Gallery
We don’t just want you to shop online, we want you to step into the space. The gallery is alive with festive energy, and seeing the work in person is always different. You’ll feel the textures, the scale, the atmosphere. It’s the kind of experience no website can replicate.
We’re open right up until 5 PM on Christmas Eve, so whether you’re super‑organised or a last‑minute legend, you can collect gifts in person and soak up the festive vibes.
Workshops: Make Your Own Festive Magic
Christmas is the most wonderful time of the year, right? That’s why we’ve lined up glorious workshops to fill you with cheer and spark your creativity. Think hands‑on making, joyful gatherings, and the smug satisfaction of knowing your handmade creations look far better than shop‑bought nonsense.
No limp tinsel, no half‑hearted mince pies, just genuine festive fun. Seats are limited, so book early and join us - click here.
Deadlines You Need to Know
• Custom Framing: Need the perfect gift beautifully framed and ready for under the tree? Visit the Framing Workshop by Friday 5th December to secure your slot. After that, even Santa’s sleigh won’t wait.
• Postal Orders: For unframed or already‑framed pieces ready to go, the Final UK Postal Date is Wednesday 17th December.
• Gallery Collection: We’re open right up until 5 PM on Christmas Eve.
The Honest Ask
This entire gallery, every nail, every wall, is self‑funded. We are not a corporate giant, we’re two people trying to build something beautiful. We exist purely on the passion of our artists and the support of people like you.
If you believe in small, independent businesses that put genuine heart into the community, we need you to show up this Christmas. Explore the website, come to the gallery, join a workshop, tell your friends and help us end this chaotic, magnificent year on a high!
And remember: we built this place for everyone to enjoy, especially at Christmas.
See you soon,
Marie & Chez
