A Penzance art gallery will be reopening from Wednesday May 19 as lockdown restrictions easing finally allows for guests to return.

Newlyn Art Gallery and The Exchange will be reopening today from 10am after the relaxing of lockdown restrictions finally allows guests to return.

Having been closed throughout the national lockdowns, the galleries are reportedly thrilled to be able to showcase their spring exhibitions which include 'Seaside:Photographed' as well as exhibition from Kerry Harding and Jode Pankhurst.

Covid-safe conditions are in place for all visitors and the galleries have asked that guests abide by these new guidelines during their visit.

The guidelines state that all members of visiting groups must check-in before entering the buildings.

All staff will be wearing face-masks or visors and visitors are required to do the same.

Face masks will also be available upon arrival.

The Exchange Cafe will also be open Wednesday to Saturday and guests are reminded that, in line with Government advice, they should wear a face-mask or covering until seated at a table.

Where possible, card or contactless payments are preferred.

Both venues have hand sanitisation stations throughout the building and enhanced cleaning throughout the day.
