More about

In 2014 the Beecroft Art Gallery moved from Westcliff-on-Sea to Southend’s old Central Library. A selection of paintings from the fine historic collection is always on display in the permanent gallery or in temporary exhibitions. There is also a year-round programme of contemporary art exhibitions.

Please note that paintings cannot be moved at short notice.

Find prints, books, gifts and exclusive product ranges in the Art UK Shop. Purchases directly support public collections across the country
