AN ART gallery has relocated from its Ryedale village location to a former Georgian hotel in a nearby town.

Bils & Rye has moved from Nunnington to the former White Horse Hotel in Kirkbymoorside’s Market Place, taking over the ground floor.

Nick and Kate Bentley, who set up the business three years ago, said they had chosen Kirkbymoorside as the next home for Bils & Rye after an extensive search for a suitable building.

The gallery’s launch show is a celebration of 30 emerging ceramicists from the UK and Ireland along with international stars such as Tom Homewood and Carne Griffiths.
