Kestle Barton - 01326231811

Rural Centre for Contemporary Arts: gallery and gardens situated on The Lizard, Cornwall in an area of outstanding natural beauty. Open April – October.

Kestle Barton is an ancient Cornish farmstead situated above the Helford River. Over a period of five years the farm buildings were carefully restored and converted into a gallery and holiday cottages.

The core purpose of the project is to provide a centre for the arts in a beautiful rural setting, finding a new use for old buildings to welcome the local community and visitors alike. The exhibition season runs from spring to autumn, with each show also offering a programme of associated events and workshops. Our first show begins April 12th 2014. Opening hours are 10:30-17:00 Tues-Sunday.

The farm itself continues its ancient role of food production – beef, orchards and a new walnut nuttery – managed in a benign, organic system to allow the rich and varied wildlife a full place within its agricultural purpose.
