masham gallery & the happy house
Rooted in Wensleydale, in the Yorkshire Dales.
For more than three decades, Masham Gallery has made its home within a centuries-old building - shared with a working artists’ studio and The Happy House. It is a place for art, making and community, shaped by the seasons.
The gallery is rooted in Masham, a small market town in Wensleydale with a long and continuing creative life.
