About Us

Ascot Studios is a highly successful contemporary art gallery based in Ribchester, in the heart of the Ribble Valley. Established in 2005, the organization has the following aims:

Over the last three years they have established a strong network of artists, art collectors, corporate clients and speculative investors. National Magazine coverage in the Art of England, Concept for Living & Lancashire Life has only affirmed and validated Ascot Studios growing reputation as one of the north's leading independent art galleries.

Ascot Studios is home to five resident artists with professional studios and there is a further network of artists from across the UK & Europe that are regularly featured in exhibitions at the gallery. Angela Wakefield, co-founder and resident artist at Ascot Studios, has enjoyed critical acclaim from industry professionals.

The exhibition/studio space at Ribchester is over 2500 sqft in size and located within Bee Mill, a converted industrial north light building. The original features of the mill have been incorporated into the space - such as the high ceilings & cast iron pillars, but it is the enormous amount of natural light that lends itself perfectly for the exhibition and production of large scale artwork.

The gallery boasts a wide selection of original & collectible artwork from creative practitioners working on canvas, steel and wood. Although the main emphasis is on original work there is a selection of high quality signed limited edition prints available on canvas. Corporate and private commissions are welcome by arrangement; click here to see a selection of commissioned work.

Exhibitions are held throughout the year and gallery opening hours are Monday to Saturday, 11am to 5pm.
