Mudeford Quay is a small beautiful corner of the Borough of Christchurch in Dorset, England. Situated at the entrance of Christchurch Harbour, Mudeford Quay benefits from spectacular views along the coast, over to the Needles on the Isle of Wight & back to Christchurch town. Mudeford Quay is made up of two areas, the Quay itself and Mudeford Spit, a natural sandbank which leads to Hengisbury Head all the way to Boscombe & Bournemouth. The Quay is a hub of activity with beautiful beaches, the lush grassed area ideal for picnics and enjoying the beautiful scenery and the Quayside itself which has a small shops, a pub, a fish stall and plenty of vantage points to watch the world go by.
This beach is excellent for families with all age children. There are cafes, ice-cream shops and toilets plus loads of sandy beach. For water sport enthusiasts you can wind surf, paddle board, canoe and even surf on some occasions. There is a promenade that stretches all the way from the quay to the beach where in the less busy winter months children can scoot and ride their bikes. In the summer the quayside is a popular place for children to go crabbing, however watch them as the water is deep and fast flowing. Food: The Noisy Lobster is a beach-side cafe that serves breakfast, coffees, cakes and a variety of meals, whilst there is also a fish and chip bar and an ice cream parlour. If you go to the quayside area there is another cafe. You can also catch a ferry from the quayside across to Mudeford Spit, where there are the most expensive' beach huts' and you can also catch a land train to Hengistbury Head, a prominent headland..

Hatch Gallery is based in the beautiful harbour town of Christchurch, close to the Priory. We specialise in Contemporary Paintings and Sculpture from local and more nationally known artists. We also provide a space for young and emerging artists to showcase their work to the public, often for the first time. We are a bustling, welcoming gallery that always has something new going on from craft workshops to artist talks; from local crafts to fine art. All welcome!
