We are located 12 miles from Belfast, 2 miles from Bangor.
Car: Take the Bangor road from Belfast, the A2 dual carriageway. 2 miles from Bangor pass the Dixon’s Garden Centre on the left, straight through the traffic lights (sign-posted right to Newtownards) 200 metres past this junction turn right across the dual carriageway through the main entrance gates to the Clandeboye Estate. Once inside, bear right at both forks and the Ava Gallery will be ahead of you on the righthand side of the outer courtyard and car park.
Train: There is a good rail service from Belfast to Bangor every half hour throughout the day. Go to Bangor main station where there is a permanent taxi rank.
As well As previewing our auctions in Dublin and Northern Ireland Adam’s have also mounted a number of loan exhibitions since 2010 at both the The Ava Gallery on the historic Clandeboye Estate outside Belfast and more recently here at our sale rooms in Dublin . These have proven extremely popular with the general public as they allowed them to see museum quality works on loan from private collections around the country which would normally be inaccessible. Here is a summary of the exhibitions and click on the link to view the extensive well illustrated catalogues with essays by art historians including Dr S.B. Kennedy, Karen Reihill, Aoife Leach and Dr Róisin Kennedy :
