Saul Hay Gallery
Saul Hay Gallery is a canalside contemporary art space tucked into a red-brick former railway cottage between the viaduct and the Rochdale Canal. Since opening in 2016, it’s become one of Manchester’s leading independent galleries, showing work by both emerging and established artists across painting, sculpture, ceramics, photography and drawing.
Run by founders Catherine and Ian Hay, the gallery is known for its personal approach, whether you’re browsing, buying or commissioning a piece. The focus is firmly on quality and originality, with exhibitions that change regularly and avoid passing trends.
