Boilerhouse Gallery
Sandy Hill Land, Corfe Castle, BH20 5JF.
The Boilerhouse Gallery is a small co-operative gallery in a workshop setting, celebrating the work of Purbeck artists. The Gallery is easy to find opposite the Corfe Castle railway station in what was once the local ‘milk factory’.
Set up and run by local artists, many of whom have their workshop or studio on site, there has been a gallery here since 2002. We have recently given the space a facelift, with new artists joining us.
