About

Bennys yard

Beach Street in Felixstowe used to be a car park. It's now a row of shipping container businesses, food trucks and independent shops, and Benny's Yard is the bus parked at the heart of it. Benny Brown, an illustrator and designer with a decade of commercial work behind him, turned an old double decker into a gallery downstairs and his working studio upstairs in 2022. What's on show rotates. Benny's own work runs across paintings, prints, stickers and caps under the Benny's Yard brand, where a cheerful, cartoonish surface usually has something more pointed underneath. Around it he hangs other local Suffolk artists, so the walls look different week to week. It's a gallery run by someone who still makes the work himself, in a setting you won't find anywhere else on the Suffolk coast. Good stop either side of a walk along the seafront, and a decent antidote to the usual postcard-shop version of coastal Suffolk.
