Knapp-Fisher John

The Knapp-Fisher John gallery sits just outside Haverfordwest, a compact space where local and contemporary art gets a proper showing without the pretension of bigger venues. It's the sort of place that rewards a quick visit if you're passing through - usually free entry, and you can be in and out in half an hour, or linger longer if something catches your eye.

The gallery specializes in rotating exhibitions, so what you'll see depends entirely on when you visit. Some shows lean towards established Welsh artists, others toward emerging work. The space itself is unpretentious, which suits the Pembrokeshire setting rather well. It's not a destination in itself, but if you're based at one of the nearby caravan parks - Coastal Stay or Prendergast are only a mile or so away - it's worth an hour of your time on a drizzly afternoon.

Print-focused work features regularly, alongside paintings and installations. It appeals most to anyone with a genuine interest in contemporary art rather than families looking for interactive galleries. Kids will get restless quickly unless there's something particularly engaging on.

Best approach: check ahead if you can, since opening hours aren't always straightforward. Haverfordwest itself has enough cafes and shops to make it worth a proper morning out. From there, you're well-placed for the wider Pembrokeshire coast and the various holiday parks dotted around - Preseli Glamping and Newgale are a short drive for proper coastal scenery.
