• A good selection of art on display at Towneley Hall - a stately home and park given to the people of Burnley. Good picture gallery shop on St James Street - Howarth Gallery.
• Burnley doesn't believe in art. If you like art you are a fairy and you get banished to the land of Michael Barrymore. Ok, ok, you know I'm only joking.....right?Right..?
• If you want to see Art in galleries there are exhibitions at Townley Hall which is a really great place, lovely scenery. There's a good art shop on the corner of Cow Lane, near the Burnley Football Club Shop. Supplies are best bought at WH Smith though as the art shop can be expensive :| and WH Smith have quality materials!
• Being a Northern town and all that, we don't appreciate arts (and all that gay stuff). So artists, or the creative types are forced to showcase their works in a stange phenomena called craft fairs.

Magazine and Comic Shops

• WH Smith. Two papershops on Padiham road near to the traffic lights at the roundabout.

The Knowhere Guide started out as a list of places to skateboard in the UK. It is a compilation of (unedited) information and views supplied by users like yourself. It is not a conventional tourist guide!

In most cases, the information in each section has been submitted by more than one contributor (the credits at the bottom of the page list some, but not all, of the contributors) and some of it dates back to the 1970s.

We make no claims as to the accuracy of the information in the Guide - our only purpose is to provide a forum for users to share their knowledge and opinions. So please keep a large bag of salt handy and be prepared to read between the lines!

If you disagree with a comment, or information is out of date, please submit an update! The contributors come from all walks of life, and their opinions are bound to be subjective, so if your view isn't represented, please speak up and contribute to the balance of the Guide. See below in the 'Have Your Say' section for how to add your voice.

If we have helped you out or made you laugh you can buy us a pint.

Have Your Say...

You can tell us more about Burnley. This is also the method to use if you want to correct some of the information already here. (But please remember you're not mailing the person who actually wrote whatever-it-is.)

You can use the add an event form to tell us about events happening in Burnley.

Or, if you'd just like to leave a message for other users of this site, take a look at The Knowhere Board (handy if you're just trying to get in touch with someone).
