Beautiful grounds, lovely building and art selection. Free to attend (but can give a donation). Looks like they have some neat summer camps for kids, once my son is old enough.

So we enjoyed the tea room at Glenhyrst and it was lovely. We had three different trays, and our tea pots were refilled frequently. There was a large selection of teas and the food is pre arranged but very good!

Amazing

Very pretty light show that you can drive through or walk through with the Glenhyrst Art Gallery in the middle, during Christmas, santa can be found along side lots of holiday treats, apple cider and hot chocolate. Lots of beautiful art by the children of the Brant area, definitely worth a look and a donation if you're feeling generous! Make sure to sign the guest book too.

Zed Dean

super cool art gallery.I like the tiny tea house in the art gallery in the middle of the park , 20 $ per person. but super worthy experience.

Amazing gardens

Tamara Oliver

Came here for high tea with the ladies in my wedding party. It was so lovely. The atmosphere and tea room was so inviting and beautiful. The lovely lady who was serving us (I wish I could remember her name) made our visit so much more special. She was beyond friendly and really went way above any service I've ever had before. Thanks for making a special day with my girls so very memorable. Beautiful place and grounds.

A conscious gallery that encorporates community and other causes. My daughter's artwork, as well as other students, have been displayed here through schools as well as bigger works of art. Beautiful Christmas lights and gardens. A perfect walk through for a quiet moment. The tea room is adorable.

Chris Calder

Beautiful grounds! Be sure to check out the lights at Christmas.

Michael Fredrickson

Beautiful mansion converted into a gallery showcasing contemporary art, which I appreciate. They have art rental in the basement. Also you can walk down to the river and enjoy nature afterwards.

The Glenhyrst Art Gallery Brantford is a busy place. It has Art on display by different artist and hosts local Artists as well They have summer art programs for kids A vissual arts guild with many talented artists. They have huge grounds and a path right to the river with beautiful garden displays and a specail holiday light show where they serve hot chocolate the month of December. People picnic here and joggers use the park all round. A Bagpiper has started playing in the park around 7pm and it is just a beautiful place for wedding pictures. This is a must see place. Admission is usually free and a donation box beside a guest book are just inside the door. One can lease pictutes or purchase some here. Just a magical place for young and old .

Beautiful park with an Art Gallery. They have parking on the side of the park and also an inner parking going around the art gallery and making a right at the roundabout. Unfortunately, Art gallery was closed and they said that in one of the week they close it to bring more items to the exihibit. The staff was very nice and polite. The back side of the park where the inner parking is located has trails and they are interconnected to the other trails. There were picnic benches too where families could enjoy precooked meals.

Took my mom here for high tea and it was such a wonderful experience!! The food was delicious and service was outstanding. Wouldn’t hesitate to come here again. If booking for Mother’s Day be sure to book far in advance.

Sarah Escobar

The lights at Christmas are so beautiful here!

Michael Leger

Great local spot for photos weddings and more. In the winter you can expect a great volunteer run light show. Bring non perishable food items for donations in December. Great lower parking lot allows quick access to the grand. And the art gallery is always a great spot to support local artists. Drive slow and enjoy.

Lis Melo

This place is a hidden gem in Ontario. The gardens are spectacularlly well taken care of, the grounds is so peaceful and beautiful. The people that work here are just so nice! I will definitely come back!

Great lightshow

Angela Fonseca

I went here on a school trip with my son and his grade 3 class. Fun was had by parents, teachers and students. The gallery itself was featuring work from budding artists in local schools as well as professional works. It's is a smaller 3 floor intimate gallery. The grounds surrounding the gallery are beautiful. Also as part of the trip there was a building open for the children to make a keepsake Christmas Craft to bring home for their families. It was a waterless snow globe.

Great Christmas display

Amanda Rickwood

In the winter months they host Christmas lights which this year we're drive thru only but for a small Brantford art gallery they always have something going on and they do a lot of work with local schools and teachers they could however use more parking and maybe more activities maybe virtual art classes like graphic design !? Something different

Laura Philpott

so beautiful!

John Lucas

Amazing festive light show, grounds and gallery. One of those secrets that few outside of Brant County know. Great and welcoming volunteers too! We'll be back to enjoy the gallery and ground during other seasons and art showings.

In the winter with all the outdoor displays lit up and Santa there, there is no place better to take young kids.

April S

We went tonight for the Christmas lights and it was very pretty. The kids had a great time running around look at the different displays. There is lots of areas for photo opportunities and the staff offered to help us with pictures so all of us could be in the picture. That my not happen every time but it was nice that they did offer. If you don't want to walk around you can drive thru as well. It is a beautiful light display. We have walked through the ground in the summer and it is very beautiful then as well with the different flower beds that are planted throughout the grounds.
