AN art gallery featuring the work of local artists is set to open on Saturday, July 10.

Barry Callaghan, himself a dab hand with a paint brush, is opening the gallery on the first floor of his Farm Store Garden Centre in Boundary Road.

Entry to the gallery is free and it will feature a number of limited edition prints, as well as landscapes and portraits, all done by North West artists. The opening will be performed by Reverend Tony Hardy of St Luke's Church and Barry has already made a special presentation to Willowbrook Hospice in the shape of a limited edition print by Lakeland artist, Judy Boyes.
