Benguela Galleries
Benguela Galleries is a further addition to the unique experience enjoyed by visitors and guests at Benguela Cove Lagoon Wine Estate in South Africa, and Leonardslee Lakes & Gardens and Mannings Heath Estate in the UK.
The collection of art galleries is owned by Penny Streeter OBE. It reflects her family’s passion for excellence and support for the arts and conservation, and provides a platform for new and established artists to showcase their work at three unique destinations.
Penny Streeter OBE is a Zimbabwean-born entrepreneur, she has founded and successfully grown multiple businesses in both the UK and South Africa. Her drive, energy and passion in all her business ventures - which range from healthcare to hospitality, to property development and conservation - is relentless.
Once homeless, she has built a business empire from scratch and is passionate about helping others to achieve their full potential. Art is just one of those avenues and the Grade I Listed Leonardslee Lakes and Gardens in West Sussex, is already home to one of the largest sculpture parks in Europe, resulting from her collaboration with South African artist, Anton Smit.
