Welcome to The Pole Star

Nestled in the beautiful town of Keswick in the heart of the Lake District, the Pole Star is an exciting independent gallery that offers an eclectic and beautiful collection of art, ceramics, award winning photography, jewellery and homeware. Whether you are looking for a gift for someone special, or something to take home as a reminder of your time in the Lake District, we are sure to have something you will love!

We work with a talented collection of artists and makers, many of whom are based right here in Cumbria. We are passionate about supporting local creatives and celebrating everything that makes our corner of the world so special.

Our Story…

We are the sister gallery to The Northern Lights just a few shops down, but we wanted to be slightly different…

Whilst still supporting local artists, we wanted to open up a shop which sells unique gifts that you won’t see anywhere else in Keswick, alongside affordable original artwork and prints.

From home items, soaps, ceramics and pillows, to jewellery, handbags and lampshades, we have a huge variety of products for all sorts of occasions. So why not pop in and see what catches your eye? We welcome everyone, including dogs!

We ship worldwide and offer a 0% interest plan with OWN ART, letting you spread the cost of artwork over time with no extra fees.
