The Empty Sardine Can Gallery A tiny art gallery on a public footpath in Fairlight Cove. Never knowingly open. There are many that return just to see what I’ve been up to. It’s just there.

I’ve exhibited works at the bottom of the garden for many years so that people using the public footpath can have a gander. Creating the tiny gallery in the back-gate seemed a logical next step. I can now invite other artists to show their work as well. Opening a new venue during the pandemic might seem a tad strange but it’s outside and visitors can easily maintain social distancing. There will be no grand opening and no private views. Please come and visit. If travelling by car please note that you must park, considerately, in the village and go down the rough track to the gallery on foot.

We've had a painting accepted for the second round of The Hastings Museum Open 2026 and this is it! If it struggles through to the actual exhibition you'll have to visit the Hastings Museum & Art Gallery to see the other side. It is not called 'Bot'.

We had a gallery in Portugal, Galeria Secreta - now closed, with a different ethos. Our ethos here is peeps know where we are but we're always closed. The Galeria Secreta was always open but nobody knew we were there. Both galleries have shared the same degree of success! Grumpy never liked the hot weather.

It's a shame we're never open. Peeps are missing out on such beauty as Spring and Summer Flowers. Still I'm enjoying them which is the main thing.
