King Street in Manchester is home to two leading names in contemporary art. Castle Fine Art and Clarendon Fine Art. While part of the same art family, each bring their own unique identity, artist roster, and experience to the city’s creative heart.
Celebrating thirty years of Castle Fine Art
In 2025, Castle Fine Art marks thirty years of connecting people with art. Since 1995, the gallery has helped build collections, supported emerging talent, and made contemporary art more accessible across the UK and beyond.
To celebrate its anniversary, Castle Fine Art is offering a limited-time promotion throughout October. Visitors to the gallery can enjoy £300 off when they spend over £1000. The offer applies across a curated selection of signed limited editions, original artworks, sculpture and books. Terms and conditions apply.
National reach, local touch
Castle Fine Art has grown into the UK’s leading art retailer, with galleries across the country. Despite its national presence, each location provides a tailored and personal experience. The King Street gallery reflects the company’s founding principle that art should be approachable, inspiring and open to everyone.
Its knowledgeable art consultants offer guidance for both new and seasoned collectors, helping visitors explore framing options, learn about artist techniques, and discover new releases added regularly in-gallery and online.
Collaborations and collecting opportunities
Castle Fine Art is known for working with some of the biggest names in culture and entertainment, including Johnny Depp, Bob Dylan and Marvel. The gallery has also launched the careers of numerous homegrown artists, many of whom now enjoy strong followings among collectors.
Events, artist signings and behind-the-scenes video content give collectors the opportunity to go beyond the artwork and connect with the creative process.
To receive updates on new releases, subscribers can sign up to the Castle Fine Art mailing list and benefit from a 5 percent welcome discount, birthday rewards, and more.
