The Customs House Gallery

Customs House Gallery in Porthleven is a treasure trove of Cornish creativity, nestled in a bright and airy space right on the historic harbour side. Established over 20 years ago, it’s the perfect spot to immerse yourself in original works by some of Cornwall’s finest artists, from vibrant paintings and intricate glass pieces to striking sculptures and sterling silver jewellery with colourful resin charms. Imagine wandering through rooms filled with evocative seascapes and coastal-inspired art, all available to buy online or in person year-round, with the salty breeze and harbour views just outside the window.

What makes this gallery truly special is its approachable vibe and smart touches like Own Art financing, letting you snap up pieces from £100 to £2,500 and pay interest-free over 10 months. They even offer framing services to get your finds ready to hang. It’s ideal for art lovers seeking unique souvenirs, collectors hunting local talent, or anyone wanting a relaxed browse with that quintessential Cornish charm. Pop in for a dose of inspiration by the sea.
