Once upon a time on South Street…
A small gallery in Wareham turned all of its lights back on, opened both its doors, and welcomed people in again.
Outside, the street was lined with independent businesses, each one a little piece of the town’s story.
Next door, ♥️ stood wrapped in very grand scaffolding – a sign of care, repair and a promise of good times to come 🐻.
Inside Grange Gallery, ‘Side by Side’ brought together the characterful worlds of Dorset’s Mandie Gillard and Amanda Popham – a collaboration of prints, textiles and ceramics filled with personality and a touch of magic.
Every person who stepped through the door, every kind word, every small purchase helped keep that story going – for the gallery, for the neighbours, for Wareham ♥️.
Now it’s your turn to be part of it.
Come and wander Wareham:
Grange Gallery, 12 South St, Wareham BH20 4LT
Open Wed–Sat, 10am–4pm.
The lights are on. The doors are open. The story continues.
