About Red Lobster Gallery

Red Lobster Gallery opened its doors in 2012 in the heart of Sheringham, North Norfolk. We're an independent, family-run business with a love of beautiful things and the stories behind them.

For owner Alison Parriss, retail has always been part of the family. Her grandfather opened Parriss Jewellers in Sheringham in 1945, and her mother later ran The Flower Centre from 1974 to 2006, both from 25 Station Road. After a career in marketing, Alison returned to those roots to create a gallery that's a little different.

This isn't a shop filled with things you'll find everywhere else. It's a collection of original art, sculpture, home décor, lighting, clocks and gifts, each chosen because it has something to say. Something that catches your eye. Starts a conversation. Makes a house feel more like home.

We love meeting the makers as much as we love sharing their work. Every piece has a story, whether it's inspired by the coast, shaped by hand or created by an artist with a fresh way of seeing the world. Knowing the people behind the work helps us help you find the piece that's just right.

Looking after our customers matters just as much as choosing the collection. Whether you're searching for the perfect gift, a statement piece for your home or your first piece of original art, we're here to help.

Sheringham has always been our home, and we're proud to play our part in the community.

We support local events, work closely with Experience Sheringham and regularly raise funds for Sheringham Hedgehog Hotel. Because being part of the town means giving something back to it.
