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.
