Yew Tree Gallery

Yew Tree Gallery is a destination for contemporary art and craft on the B3306 at Keigwin, near Morvah on the Penwith coast. Set among fields and gardens between St Ives and St Just, it presents a different kind of gallery visit from a town-centre browse: the landscape, sculpture gardens and views are part of the experience. The programme is curated by Gilly Wyatt Smith and typically runs from Easter to the end of October.

Exhibitions bring together nationally respected artists from Cornwall and further afield, across painting, sculpture, ceramics, glass, textiles, wood and jewellery. The gallery often connects its themes to the natural environment, which suits its rural setting without reducing the work to scenery. Visitors can wander the sculpture gardens and organic potager, including the wildlife pond, and the converted Potting Shed serves drinks and baked biscuits.

Yew Tree Gallery has generous parking and is best approached as part of a west Penwith day rather than a brief Penzance errand. Its position is useful for combining with Morvah, Pendeen and the Botallack coast, but opening dates and exhibition details should be checked before setting out because the seasonal programme changes. Art buyers who cannot visit may be able to arrange delivery; ask the gallery about the current work and options.
