My wife and I thought a visit to Pallant House Gallery might be a nice little addition to our trip to Chichester for a football match. Turns out it was the best part of the day! This is a fabulous gallery. Their own permanent collection is thoughtfully set out with informative labelling, as was the impressive temporary exhibition, Seeing Each Other. The miniature artworks were another highlight. To add a personal touch, we spotted a work by Paul Winstanley, a contemporary artist my wife once worked with.
We then stayed for a very good lunch!
We would definitely recommend this gallery, not just if you're visiting Chichester but as the reason for visiting! It's also half price with an Art Pass, so a win all round.
The football? 0-0 with a second half monsoon.

Excellent mid sized gallery specialising in British 20th-century art, alongside some contemporary work. The permanent collection is displayed in a Georgian townhouse which has a very peaceful atmosphere. I found the staff to be lovely and helpful. Some very strong and recognisable works here.

A friend recommended this gallery for our visit to Chichester and I'm so glad they did – it's a real find. The building is lovely – part heritage house and part modern extension but they flow into each other seamlessly. The volunteers are friendly and helpful.

The permanent collection of mostly 20th century British art is quite extensive and contains some very important and engaging pieces. We were also fortunate to be able to see the huge temporary exhibition of artists' pictures of other artists (on until November 2nd 2025) which has lots of interesting works.
