The Gallery

Watermeadow Barn Gallery opened in April 2003, with the aim of providing a showcase for local artists and craftspeople working on the Isles of Scilly and in Cornwall.

For many years, Watermeadow Barn was a redundant farm barn. It was sympathetically renovated in 2002, and the sense of space and light created makes the most of the baskets and other crafts on display.

For winter visitors, our wood-burning stove and comfortable seating make this a cosy stop-off point on your walk around St Mary's.

One end of the Barn is a workshop where Susie Taylor makes baskets from willow and hedgerow materials. She is also continuing the local tradition of lobster-pot making, under the expert guidance of retired local fisherman Brian Richards.
