TOURISM INFORMATION
We'll be building up a list of places of interest local to The Anchor that registered users can rate. This will help visitors to the area find the best places to go and might even provide some inspiration for us locals too. If you want more information on any of these, why not pop in and see us - we might have some further literature, advice or even discount tickets for some of them.

eagle gallery
The Eagle Gallery is a unique, artist-led gallery, run by a
co-operative of 45 Bedfordshire artists. We provide an informal,
accessible and friendly space to show original art works produced by our
members.
We show a wide range of work embracing ceramics, glass, jewellery,
sculpture, printmaking, collage and photography, as well as painting in
oils, watercolour, acrylics and other media. Exhibitions change
frequently and we have six solo or small group shows each year. Visitors
have the opportunity to meet the artists, who can talk knowledgeably
about what is on show.
The Gallery is also a venue where the local community can become
involved with art through the lectures, demonstrations and workshops
which we offer. Our garden is a tranquil place where we show sculpture
and hold outdoor events in the summer.
