We visited Castle Fine Art in Cardiff, not expecting to buy anything, but buy something we did. The piece we bought almost sold itself, but the deal Lucy put together for us was great and put any um... See more

About Castle Fine Art
Written by the company
As the UK's leading art retailer, Castle Fine Art has been at the heart of the contemporary art movement for over 30 years.
Specialising in original fine art, hand-signed limited editions and sculpture, we unite collectors with works from an exceptional selection of world-class masters, cultural icons and homegrown contemporaries.
In 1995, we opened our first gallery in the historic market town of Stratford-upon-Avon with just one goal in mind – to share the joy of fine art. Whilst we may have expanded over the years, our foundations are built on a pure love for art – a feeling that remains in every corner of the business today. With 38 galleries nationwide and a global online store, we continue to build with the future of modern art in mind.
We strive to offer an incredible selection of art for a range of budgets and spaces. Whether you are a seasoned collector or beginning your journey, our art consultants are here to inspire and guide you every step of the way in our nationwide galleries, online, on the phone or by home appointment.

Perfect installation of a large framed artwork!
We have just had a large limited edition print expertly installed by Dan Gaffney from Castle Fine Art. We were highly impressed with the care and attention to detail that Dan put into the measurement and laser levelling to ensure everything was perfect before even drilling the wall for the two heavy duty brackets that the framed picture required. He even checked the frame for fingerprints afterwards! A brilliant job and our new art work looks fantastic. A big thankyou also to CFA colleagues Mary and Charlotte for their support and for answering our many questions!

Overall experience has been excellent
Overall experience has been excellent. Daniel has been very helpful with my helping me to acquire the art piece i wanted. Plenty of information, and prompt replies to my E-mails. The delivery was on time and the packaging was
robust, so no worries about damage.

Had purchased a Bob Dylan painting (Bicycle 2018) couple years ago. Castle treated me the best any art gallery could possibly do. Now, Daniel is helping me find another Dylan piece and has been quite communicative and very helpful. Love this place.

Super helpful customer service and a wonderful gift!
Wanted a unique anniversary gift for my husband and found the perfect Nic Jolly art work from Castle Fine Art! I needed it quickly so needed help to make sure I got it in time and Dan, one of their art consultants, was super helpful and got it to my local gallery in time! Thank you!

Excellent service and beautiful prints
Excellent service from Daniel. We had been looking at the prints for a while and managed to get the spring offer too which was great. Prints were really well packaged and delivery service was excellent. They look amazing in our home. Thanks Daniel,

Super-helpful Stuart :)
We popped into the York gallery on the off chance of seeing one of the ‘Gone’ series, I’ve had my eye on for a while, in real life. We had no intention of buying one which wasn’t displayed, but were made to feel so comfortable and welcome by Stuart, we left having purchased a Pixie Dust print! The whole process with Stuart was fantastic. He was extremely helpful and patient and didn’t make us feel ‘on edge’ with our art-loving 6 year old (which sadly lots of gallery shops do). We are so happy we chose to step inside Castle Fine Arts yesterday and are so happy Stuart was there to help us choose the perfect art work.
Would highly recommend.

Thank you Dan!

Disapointing experience
Disapointing experience: 8 - week delay and poor communication.
I am deeply disapointed with the service provided by castle fine art Manchester regarding my recent order. While the quality of the art itself is what one would expect, the customer experience was far below professional standards.
My artwork took over eight weeks to arrive. While delays can happen, the primary issue was the total lack of proactive communication. During this two month wait, I recieved very little support or information regarding the status of my order. When I reached out for updates,the response and support were consistently poor and confused.
For a gallery that positions itself as a premium service, the lack of transparency and customer care is unaccepatable. I hope they take feedback seriously and improve the communication protocols for future clients.
I don't know if we are naive, we ordered the lovely framed set of three summer 2025 Paul cornfield prints, and my order was made up of artwork from shop displays from different galleries, they transferred at least one from the Canterbury gallery. Is this the norm for Castle fine art?
Edit. 5. 5 2026
Still no response from Castle fine arts, Rachael only seems to respond to 5 star reviews and not to customers who have had problems with poor service.
I guess selling shop soiled art is the norm with this company.
Come on Rachel be polite and respond to your bad service.

Fabulous piece of art, hung expertly
Fabulous piece of art - thank you Dulcie and a great experience hanging it with Mac who adjusted the placing of a very heavy piece by just a few cm to make sure we were happy.

Buying art isn’t just about the transaction - there’s a whole lot more in the before and after too. Conversations with CFA have been great at every step. The support and direction with choice, to the install and aftercare if that’s the right word, is brilliant. It’s like dealing with friends who genuinely value your time. Hannah and Tony - thankyou!!

Nothing is ever too much trouble
Nothing is ever too much trouble - Damien is so personable, professional and always so prompt when dealing with any queries or questions. Castle Fine Art in Nottingham is our go to when we are choosing our next pieces - we have now purchased Jon Jones works from them & have never been anything else but totally impressed!

Very poor service
Very poor service, no communication.
I have purchased from Castle Fine art in person from their Nottingham branch many times over the years and never had an issue. However my 2 most recent purchases have been made online and the service has been abysmal.
They do estimate a long delivery window (up to 4 weeks) but when spending thousands you do expect to be kept informed or at least be able to see the progress through the order tracking link you get on the auto generated confirmation email.
My first online piece arrived within a fortnight, so not too unreasonable, however my latest order is now at the 4 week point and the status on the order tracker hasn’t changed (in fact the link had expired and I had to request another in order to see that the status hadn’t moved beyond ‘confirmed’)
I have tried to call them, the phone diverts to a mobile number with the option to leave a voicemail. I have emailed but have not had a response. But this is consistent with the service others have reported.
In summary, buy in person not online!
