Abbot Hall is a major Kendal art gallery housed in a Grade I listed Georgian building on the banks of the River Kent. Its collection and exhibitions range from historic art to contemporary work, supported by events, learning activity and changing displays. The gallery also has a coffee bar, gift shop, toilets and facilities for groups and educational visits. Accessible parking, a step-free entrance and lifts are available, although the historic layout means some rooms involve platform-lift access or small level changes.
