The trail will boast variety of work which will include paintings and drawings of all kinds, photography, jewellery, sculpture and a range of crafts.

The range of exhibitors will also be equally varied, and will feature a range of very experienced artists to first timers who are taking the plunge and showing what they can do to a wider audience.

Organiser Sandy Bell is excited to discover what has so far been created by the event. She said: “I am really pleased that in addition to our regular participants, we will be involving a number of new faces in 2025 who are keen to take part.

“We have all had a chance to produce work which we hope people will enjoy seeing and those who will be joining us for the first time will refresh the range of what people can view.

“Fingers crossed that the weather is kind to us and visitors can really enjoy a great day in the Chew Valley, not just by visiting studios but also travelling through the countryside, and possibly stopping off for a tea break or lunch in our pubs and cafes”.
