Family in the Frame

The gallery sits near Wingrave, a quiet corner of Buckinghamshire that doesn't shout about itself. Family in the Frame focuses on portrait photography and family imagery - the kind of work that makes you stop and actually look at faces rather than scroll past them. You'll find contemporary and historical pieces alongside each other, which creates an interesting conversation between how we saw ourselves decades ago and how we frame ourselves now.

It's the sort of place that works best if you've got some genuine interest in photography or portraiture. Kids under ten might find it a bit slow, but teenagers who've picked up a camera will get something out of it. Bring along someone who enjoys talking about why a photograph works and you'll have a proper visit rather than just a wander.

The gallery sits well within reach of the glamping sites around here - Wingbury Farm and Chiltern Yurts are both close enough for a morning visit without faffing about with the car. Hill Farm And Orchard and Hill Farm Camping offer more traditional accommodation if you're after a longer stay. The Buckinghamshire countryside around Wingrave is gentle rather than dramatic, which suits a relaxed day combining the gallery with a walk and a pub lunch.

Check opening hours before you head over - smaller galleries can be unpredictable with their times, and it's worth confirming whether admission is free or if there's a modest charge.
