Open air public art space – year round with 3 public exhibitions per year, connecting people with art and nature working harmoniously with its Sensory Garden location.

The Riverside Art Space opened February 2025, imaginatively creating an all seasons new place where nature and planting meets art and culture.

Within this free and accessible art space viewers are invited to take a stroll through the Sensory Garden where you will find 5 gabion baskets with plinths atop to present the artwork – the only outdoor gallery of its kind in the South West. Each exhibition features place-based artwork by a variety of artists from photography to printing and painting.

Whilst visiting why not check out the Sidmouth Wallspace just around the corner.
