Exhibitions at Sun Pier House

Discover something new at Sun Pier House

Located in the heart of Chatham’s vibrant cultural quarter, Sun Pier House is a dynamic riverside arts venue where creativity comes to life. Overlooking the tranquil River Medway, our light-filled gallery spaces provide a striking and ever-changing backdrop for an exciting programme of exhibitions, installations, and community-led art projects.

Step inside and explore a wide range of work by local and national artists – from bold, contemporary wall-based pieces to immersive, thought-provoking installations. With flexible, adaptable spaces, every visit to Sun Pier House offers something new to experience.

Since opening over 12 years ago, we’ve proudly supported emerging talent and celebrated established creatives. Our galleries have featured everything from grassroots community projects to exhibitions by internationally recognised artists. Whether you’re an art enthusiast, a curious passer-by, or just looking for inspiration, Sun Pier House welcomes you.

While you’re here, relax at the Sun Pier House Café (subject to opening times), enjoy stunning views of the Medway, and be part of a thriving artistic community.

Sun Pier House is open to all.
