Gallery 1885 Exhibitions

A great feature of the Camera Club is that it has its own attractive ground-floor gallery Gallery 1885 with high-quality exhibition lighting and hanging space for around 40 exhibition prints. Monthly exhibitions feature outstanding work by one or more members, plus ‘outside’ exhibitions of national standing, as well as members' open exhibitions and competitions.

Gallery 1885 is open to the public – you do not have to be a Club Member to enjoy our exhibitions.

To see our upcoming exhibitions please visit our blog or wait for announcements on the homepage.
