Timeline
11:03
Walk to the Shipley Art Gallery. It opens at 10:00 on weekdays, so you will be there for the quiet start. Browse the Designated Collection of national importance.
14:33
Head to Crown Posada for a drink. This beautifully preserved 1880s long-room pub features stained glass windows and a wood-panel ceiling. Try a real ale from a local brewery while listening to vintage tunes from the gramophone. It is open from 11:00, so you can arrive just before the golden light begins.
17:03
Return to the Shipley Art Gallery area as the golden light hits the surroundings. The gallery is open until 16:00 on weekdays, allowing for a second look or a quiet moment in the space as the light changes.
Local tip
The Crown Posada is a short walk from the gallery. Check the route if you are unfamiliar with the area. The gallery is closed on Mondays and Tuesdays, so plan for a weekday from Wednesday to Sunday.
