ANYONE struggling to find unusual Christmas presents is invited to Hartlepool Art Gallery for some unusual gifts.

From Saturday the gallery, in Church Square, will be hosting two new exhibitions at which most exhibits will be on sale.

Hartlepool Art Club will show more than 120 pictures painted by its members, giving visitors to the gallery an opportunity to buy a unique item as an unusual Christmas gift.

The art gallery will also be selling craft items again this year in a separate exhibition called Gifts Galore.

Artists featured in the exhibition come from as near as Hartlepool and Billingham and as far as Ireland and Norway.
