Workshops, Art Galleries & Heritage Sites
Go to listing ↓Browse Workshops, Art Galleries & Heritage Sites on Mapzest. Sort by distance to find the closest options. Listings are kept up to date by the businesses themselves.
Arts and Culture across South Devon spans art galleries, museums, heritage sites, historic houses and workshops, reflecting the area's genuinely long history — maritime heritage in the harbour towns, naval history in Dartmouth, and independent, artisan galleries particularly associated with Totnes and Dartington.
Because each town's arts and heritage offering draws on its own particular history, the specifics vary considerably from place to place. This page brings every real listing together across the whole area; a specific town's own Arts and Culture category (under its Places page) narrows this down to what's actually there.
Every listing here is managed directly by the venue, gallery or organiser, so opening times, current exhibitions and workshop schedules are as up to date as they keep them. Whether you're after a heritage site with real history behind it, a contemporary gallery, or a hands-on workshop, start with the categories above or browse by town.
Sub-categories separate out castles and forts, art galleries, heritage sites, historic houses, viewpoints and workshops, so you can narrow straight down to the kind of venue you're after. As with the rest of Mapzest, results can be sorted by distance from you, useful for finding whichever's nearest once you know the type of venue you want.
Dated arts EVENTS — a specific exhibition opening, workshop or one-off happening with its own date — are listed separately under Events, so this page focuses on the venues themselves. Once you know which town you're visiting, its own Arts and Culture category (under its Places page) will give you a shorter, more focused list than browsing the whole region here.
