Fylde Gallery at Lytham Hall

Welcome to the Fylde Gallery at Lytham Hall

Fylde Council is delighted to announce the opening dates for Fylde Gallery at Lytham Hall, in celebration of the centenary of the Lytham St Annes Art Collection. The sixteenth century ‘Long Gallery’ at Lytham Hall has undergone significant refurbishment throughout 2024 to create a bespoke exhibition space for the Lytham St Annes Art Collection. Fylde Council has invested £65,000 in the project, ensuring that the gallery is fit for purpose.

Fylde Gallery will have a curated exhibition programme that features contemporary artists as well as the collection. The gallery will open with ‘Centenary’, a celebratory exhibition that showcases the collection’s most treasured artworks, including recently conserved paintings. From oil paintings to sculpture, the exhibition will trace the trajectory of the collection from its formation in 1925 to present day, and commemorate the donors, artists and advocates that make the Lytham St Annes Art Collection so special.

The Lytham St Annes Art Collection is a significant public art collection. Previously sited at Fylde Council’s Town Hall, it is one of the largest and most diverse Town Hall collections in the country. Comprised entirely of works amassed through public donation, the collection contains works by notable artists such as Henry Fuseli and Charles Burton Barber, as well as works by lauded local and regional artists.

Opening on 31st January 2025, we invite you to experience the Lytham St Annes Art Collection as never before, in the newly refurbished Fylde Gallery at Lytham Hall. We look forward to celebrating 100 years of the Lytham St Annes Art Collection with you.

Open Thursday, Friday and Saturday 10am to 4pm from 31/1/2025.
