You can pick up a guidemap for the trail ( available from late
April ) from
Tourist Information Centres , Libraries and Arts Centres in Wiltshire.
You can get one from the first art trail event that you visit. Or send
a 92p stamped self- addressed C5 size envelope to: Wylye
Valley Art Trail, Bull Mill Cottage, Crockerton, Warminster. BA12 8AY
and we'll put one in the post. To download the guidemap as a low- res PDF file

Each entry gives directions for visitors from
a main road. As you get close to each event, look out for the numbered
yellow trail marker signs which will lead you to the venue. It
is also helpful to have a road atlas, sat nav or ordnance survey map.
If you would like to follow the trail by bike, much of it
coincides with the Wiltshire Cycleway. (Wilts Cycleway details from
Tourist information Centres or click here
).
Admission to all the events is free. Opening times are
from 10.30 am to 5.30 pm unless otherwise stated. Dates in pale grey
- event closed.
Look
out for the takepArt logo for workshops, demonstrations and hands-on
activities available during the period of the Art Trail.
Venues showing the teaching symbol offer classes, workshops and
courses beyond the period of the Art Trail. Contact the venue for
details.
Many of
the venues offer coffee, tea and food, look out for the symbols.
Buying Art
Much of the art on show is
for sale and many artists and craftspeople will work to commission.
However, not many of the venues take credit cards, so if you’re
planning to purchase, it’s advisable to bring a chequebook or cash.
