Welcome to the Fylde Gallery at Lytham Hall
NOW OPEN. 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 welcoming you.
Our latest exhibition is Savage Beauty, a carefully selected display of Richard Ansdell (1815 – 1885) works. The exhibition will include never before exhibited paintings. Ansdell was born in Liverpool and lived predominantly in London, but he had a special affinity with Lytham St Annes and kept a summer home in part of the borough now named after him.
Frequently compared to Landseer, Ansdell’s paintings often depict hunting scenes and unforgiving landscapes, savage in their beauty
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.
Open Thursday, Friday and Saturday 11am to 4pm (last entry 3.30pm).
