Kestle Barton is an ancient Cornish farmstead situated above the Helford River. Over the last five years we have carefully restored the farmhouse and converted the barns into a gallery and holiday cottages.

The core purpose of the project is to provide a centre for the arts in this beautiful rural setting, finding a new use for old buildings to welcome the local community and visitors alike. Our exhibitions change monthly and are open to the public, with each show also offering a programme of associated events and workshops.

The farm itself continues its ancient role of food production – beef, orchards and a new walnut nuttery – but is managed in a benign, organic system to allow the rich and varied wildlife a full place within its agricultural purpose.

Our current programme of exhibitions, events and workshops runs until the end of October 2010 and includes photography, sculpture and painting.

Routes & Branches, our current exhibition, features the work of Mike McInnerney.
