Paul's Art Gallery
Outside the Art Gallery, you will find Paul’s much-loved wire Dog, who looks in, admiring the shop window. Inside, there are other wire sculptures made by Paul, the impressive `To the Wire`, a life-size horse that was adorned with poppies for Remembrance Sunday, to acknowledge the fallen horses and mules during wartime was recently liked in social media by over 30,000 people.
This year, we were proud to receive our most recent award for recognition of an independent business who has a positive impact upon the community. Paul received his award from Poynton Town Mayor. It was lovely to be recognised for Paul's contribution to a variety of activities he undertakes, including free art trails and inspiring the next budding generation of artists who are at school, enthusing students that anyone can create!. Our sincere thanks goes back to our lovely community where our gallery is and to all our dear friends and customers.
Inside we have a fine selection of hand selected artworks from some of the most popular Regional and Local Artists and Makers. Alongside, Paul’s exhibition of Inktails Mouse, Sculptures, Originals, Prints and Homeware items.

At the tip of the street is Poynton’s famous Jubilee Iron Drinking Fountain (not in use) and St George’s Church, there is also the beautiful Poynton Pool and parkland located a short five-minute walk from the village centre, which is well worth a walk out too. A five minute drive away, is the Macclesfield Canal and the Middlewood Way, a disused railway nature corridor stretching from Marple to Bollington, which is popular with walkers, cyclists and horse riders.
There is parking to the village at a pay and display car park at the beginning of Park Lane near the mini roundabouts towards the Methodist Church and Cafe. And parking towards Waitrose where there is the Village Parish Council car park.
