Clarendon Fine Art is set to open a new gallery in a former Santander bank building on High Street in Market Harborough. The national art retailer plans to launch the space in mid-April 2026, creating three new jobs in the process. The move follows the closure of the bank branch last summer, which was the town's last remaining physical bank.
UK-based Clarendon Fine Art is opening a new gallery in Wellesley Square, Massachusetts, at 25 Central St., the former location of Laurel Grove. The business, which operates dozens of galleries in the UK and one in Westport, Connecticut, specializes in international, contemporary, and modern art. Clarendon is scheduled to meet with the Wellesley Design Review Board regarding minor construction and a sign review, including making the entrance ADA compliant. Separately, Wellesley Books has renewed its lease at 82 Central St. for another five years, ensuring the independent bookstore remains a community fixture.
