Art in Ely

Ely's cathedral — the 'Ship of the Fens' — rises out of the flat Fenland for miles around, one of the great sights of the East of England. The city's setting, ringed by the vast skies and drained black-soil farmland of the Fens, gives it a singular appeal to landscape painters and photographers drawn to that wide, level light.

Use this guide to find artists based in and around Ely — across the Fens and the villages towards Cambridge and Soham — alongside the galleries and exhibitions coming up in this corner of Cambridgeshire.
