Courtney Gallery
The Courtney Gallery (previously St John Street Gallery) is situated in the historic Georgian Market Town of Ashbourne.
The ideal place to soak up the historical atmosphere and present-day culture of the area. One of the largest art galleries in the region, we exhibit a variety of contemporary art, including original paintings, prints, sculpture and ceramics over four floors of gallery space.
Once Ashbourne’s Magistrate’s Court, this spacious grade 2 listed building now showcases more than forty of the area’s most talented artists in relaxed and informal surroundings. The work of renowned artists further afield is also available, and we host various events by local artists, e.g. art exhibitions, workshops, art talks and live demonstrations, as well as our own book club and other cultural events. We have sponsored the art prizes for the annual Ashbourne Festival including hosting fringe events, and we support young and upcoming local artists in collaboration with the Peak District Artisans.
