What better place to come and relax and enjoy lunch or a drink than in the beautiful surroundings of Hartlepool Art Gallery? Formerly Christ Church and built in 1854, this stunning building became the town’s art gallery in 1996. The café has a varied menu, including hot and cold drinks, paninis, jacket potatoes, soup of the day, toasties, cakes and confectionary, all at very reasonable prices. So come along and combine lunch with a visit to the current exhibition on display. It could be fine art, photography, crafts or artwork of national, regional and local importance.
