Mick Hand - The Champagne Room Sessions

The Champagne Room Sessions is a new portrait exhibition by local artist Mick Hand.

The exhibition celebrates the personal stories of 15 Plymouth residents.

Each portrait is accompanied by a personal narrative, celebrating identity, individuality and community.

Visitors are invited to take time out, immerse themselves in each story and empathise with the portraits and experiences of others.

The photoshoots and stories were captured in The Champagne Room — a space that once served as the police station and gun room for the Royal Navy’s historic victualling yard, now part of the Yard’s only standalone residential house.

The exhibition itself will be hosted in Melville, overlooking Royal William Yard Marina.

Join us from 1st to 10th August 2025 to meet the artist, watch live art sessions and enjoy a unique glimpse into Plymouth’s people and stories.

Opening times:

Mon - Fri: 11:00–18:00

Weekend times: 10:00–16:00
