In the heart of the town’s Cultural Quarter, Hartlepool Art Gallery is situated within a stunning and beautifully restored Grade II Victorian church, formerly known as Christ Church which was built in 1854.
Opened in 1996 it is located in Church Square, Hartlepool. The building with its beautiful interior and exterior, architecture and light-filled space flowing through the stained glass window would make the perfect venue for a number of occasions.

Greet your guests in style with drinks and canapés, or host an exhibition private view in conjunction with another event. We can also arrange for staff to answer questions or guide guests around the exhibition.
