Discover remarkable art in the heart of Norwich at Startle, an independent contemporary gallery located on the second floor of Jarrolds, one of the city’s best-loved shopping destinations.
Startle Norwich brings together an ever-changing collection of original paintings, limited editions, sculpture and photography from acclaimed British and international artists, alongside exciting names you may be discovering for the first time. From expressive abstracts and atmospheric landscapes to bold pop art, contemporary portraiture and playful sculpture, there is always something different to see.
The gallery is completely transformed every six weeks, introducing new artists, fresh releases and carefully selected works from across the wider Startle collection. It means every visit offers a new experience, whether you are returning to see what has arrived, searching for a particular artist or simply taking a break from exploring the city.
Depending on the current display, visitors may encounter work by artists such as Simon Kenny, Doug Hyde, The Connor Brothers, Mr Brainwash, Richard Heeps and Bernard, together with original artwork and new editions arriving throughout the year. The collection offers a variety of styles, scales and price points while retaining a clear sense of quality and individuality.

Visitors are welcome to browse at their own pace, without pressure or unnecessary formality.

Complimentary personal art consultations are also available in the gallery, virtually or, where practical, in your home.
