Beatrix Potter Gallery

The Beatrix Potter Gallery in Hawkshead has closed. The historic National Trust building now operates as Tabitha Twitchit's Bookshop, a second-hand bookshop.

The former Beatrix Potter Gallery in Hawkshead is no longer operating as an art gallery. The National Trust now uses the historic 17th-century building as Tabitha Twitchit's Bookshop, its standalone second-hand bookshop. Visitors looking for Beatrix Potter artwork and heritage should check the current Hill Top and Hawkshead information before travelling. This legacy Cumbria Guru listing is archived to prevent visitors being directed to a closed attraction. A separate current listing should be created for the bookshop if it is to be promoted as an active place.
