MAD Gallery specialise in exhibiting and selling contemporary fine visual art (both 2D and 3D) primarily from emerging artists, but with some established artists. They provide a high quality venue for both artists and art lovers.

Exhibitions generally run for four weeks, and six - eight weeks for the annual Christmas show: 'Anything Goes'.
