About the Octagon Centre

The Octagon Visual Arts Centre is based in the Castle School, Thornbury.

It was established as part of the school's successful bid to become a specialist visual arts college, and to be recognised as a centre of excellence for the delivery of the visual arts.

The octagonal facility consists of a teaching space and a gallery that is for school and community use.

Our aim is to bring to Thornbury a selection of exhibitions, which both reflect and enlighten the wider community.

The Gallery at the Octagon Visual Arts Centre is open during exhibitions Monday-Friday, 10am-5pm.

Visiting groups should phone ahead.
