WELCOME TO
THE SENTINEL GALLERY


The gallery is currently closed to the public whilst building works take place, but we are hoping to re-open in August 2021 (tbc.)
​
As the new owners we'd like to say hello and introduce ourselves.  We are Lorraine & Pip George.  We have lived in Colchester for the past 40 years.  Lorraine ran The Lorraine George School of Dancing & Performing Arts for 25 years until her retirement and Pip was a Solicitor with Birkett Long and enjoyed cricket in his spare time - he still umpires regularly.  We are very excited to start the next phase of our lives in vibrant Wivenhoe.  We are currently busy grappling with builders and working hard to bring our plans to improve and re-locate the gallery to the Chapel Road side of the building asap.  We look forward to welcoming you back to The Sentinel Gallery very soon.   

If you would like any further information information about the gallery

Covid protocol in place for your safety at all times.

Background of The Sentinel Gallery:

The Sentinel Gallery opened in March 2015 and was the project of local potter Pru Green. Located in the heart of Wivenhoe, a culturally vibrant small town in Essex.  1 hour from London Liverpool Street Station to Wivenhoe Railway Station, roughly 200 metres from the gallery. 

In February 2018 James Johnston and Debra Weiss were delighted to be able to take over the gallery. They have several exhibitions a year and also hire out the gallery to artists.

Debra Weiss had her painting restoration studio here at The Sentinel and was happy to give advice on all aspects of oil painting conservation.

Lorraine & Pip George took over the reins in June 2021.
