The Whitworth

Fascinating, diverse and eclectic exhibitions presented in an imaginatively extended space that lets the gallery reach out into the surrounding park. The art garden was full of enticing scents even in the chilly February sunshine. I missed the old displays of Arts & Crafts movement work, but the refurbished space alone was worth the visit. Light, airy (and very popular) cafe with a wide selection of hot and cold drinks including craft beers, cakes and light meals.

I've been visiting the Whitworth for close on 30 years and I've always enjoyed the artwork. It makes sense to check what exhibitions are on beforehand as they have a wide variety of art and crafts that are not to all tastes. The new extension is superb and worth a visit on it's own.

Unfortunately when in the cafe doing work we were asked to leave in order to accommodate for other customers, despite us having bought food and drinks, and plenty of other tables being available. This unfortunately made us feel very unwelcome and unlikely to return here. Despite this, the Whitworth is a lovely gallery and cafe and a great place to visit.

Always makes for a good visit with well curated exhibitions from many diverse and lesser known sources of art. Some of my favourites were North American wood cuts & modern art of China.

Excellent exhibitions and a very nice park area. The cafe is not too shabby either. Highly recommended
