Gallery Stratford
A public gallery housed in an old 1883 water pumping station, showing contemporary Canadian art. It sits next to the Festival Theatre, making it a convenient stop before a show.
Gallery Stratford is on Romeo Street, east of the Festival Theatre. It occupies a former Romanesque-style water pumping station, and the building itself is distinctive. Its rotating exhibitions feature contemporary Canadian art, photography and works by local artists. It is fairly small, and a visit takes about half an hour. Admission is usually free or by donation. The surrounding park greenspace can be walked to Victoria Lake. Opening hours change with the seasons, and it is generally closed on Mondays.
Opening hours
Tue–Sun approx. 10:00–17:00 (check official website)
