Art and Culture
Lymington is a large hub of the arts, with a number of artists living and working locally
With its enviable location between the coastline and the forest, it is unsurprising that Lymington is a haven for artists, who range in their specialisms from traditional Forest and Solent landscapes to bold, contemporary modern art including fabulous sculptures.
The St Barbe Museum and Art Gallery, housed in Lymington's Old School in New Street, has wide and varied exhibitions throughout the year, whilst the Lymington Centre plays host to a number of different groups associated with the arts, as well as the Malt Cinema. The area benefits from several amateur dramatic groups, including the New Forest Players and the Lymington Players, whose regular productions are a delight!
