The Blue Gallery....

The Blue Gallery was started by Edward Woollard in 1946 and has remained a family business. Roy (grandson of the founder) and Sarah Smith are the present owners. Roy can usually be found at the shop along with his helpful, knowledgeable and talented staff, including his sister Jacky and Louise Thompson B.A. Hons

Edward Woollard, maternal grandfather of current owner Roy Smith, opened the Blue Gallery at 16 Joy Street, Barnstaple in 1946. He was a photographer by profession and also had a café on the premises.

Fast-forward 66 years and the Blue Gallery has grown to be one of the the largest art, craft and needlework suppliers in the South West, selling brands such as Daler Rowney, Winsor & Newton, Pro Arte, DMC, Dylon, Coats, Staedtler and much more from the same premises in Joy Street.

Much has changed over the years but we hope the friendly knowledgeable service remains the same.
