Docton Court Gallery
Appledore
|
Docton Court is a Gallery and Gift shop situated in the historic coastal port of Appledore in North Devon. The village is loved by both locals and tourists alike, and we try to give everyone a warm welcome. Our Gallery has been trading since 2004, after the derelict Grade II* listed building had been extensively restored by us. Inside you will find an Aladdin's cave of treasures. There is a delightful mix of artwork and gifts, both locally-made and quirky items from further afield. We look forward to seeing you here. David and Jenny Carter. |

COVID-19 obviously forced us to close in the early part of 2020, but it gave us the opportunity to refurbish and get the shop ready to open as soon as it was permissible. Here we were in June 2020, ready to receive the summer visitors again.
However, we are now in November and taking part in COVID-19: Lockdown part 2. We are all doing our part to beat the virus and whilst the shop will not be open, we can continue to serve customers on a CLICK and COLLECT basis. Give us a ring if you know what you want, and we can take remote payments and arrange for a distanced collection. The same applies to PICTURE FRAMING, which can still be undertaken on the same basis. We're still here, so just give us a ring on 01237 424949 and we'll help in any way we can. Apart from COVID, we are generally open all year round, so you can even get a warm welcome in the cold winter months. Check our latest opening times on Google if you are making a special trip, because we do take breaks in the low-season. |

We lovingly choose everything that goes into our shop, sourcing as many items as we can from Devon & Cornwall artists and artisans. Our framed artwork tries to include as many local views as we can, and our featured photographers also specialise in North Devon coastal and village images.
Appledore is well-known for its crabbing on the quay, so if you need crabbing supplies then come to us. We also stock crabbing tea-shirts, badges, fridge-magnets, key-rings and cards to remind you of the one that got away!
Kids - come and explore our pirate chest - it's full of booty!

If you are looking for jewellery, pewter-ware, coasters, bespoke mugs, tea-towels, candles, prints, ceramic-items, greetings-cards, scarves, and local books, then this is the place to come. We try and offer something for all budgets, whether it's postcards and pocket-money games for rainy days, or a special souvenir to remind you of your holiday. And if you are stuck for a gift-idea, then just come and browse.
Picture framing is carried out on the premises using in-stock mouldings or anything else currently available from trade sources. Come in for free advice and a no-obligation quotation.

We don't sell online, but if you like the look of any of the items shown on our What We Sell page, then just give us a ring and we'll be delighted to see how we can help.
We are members of the Federation of Small Businesses. As a small business ourselves, we prefer to do business with other small businesses. Whether you are a new customer, or one of our many regulars, we look forward to welcoming you to Docton Court Gallery next time you are in Appledore. See our History page for more information about the origins of this late Tudor property, and the restoration work which was undertaken by local craftsmen. |
