It's a unique opportunity to see the wide range of art being carried out in this area. Visit open studios, exhibitions and galleries, meet and talk to artists and craftspeople. Much of the work on view is for sale and many of the artists and craftspeople involved will work to commission.

Following the Trail

Everything you need to know about the trail is on this website. Go to the trail map page or click on the locations in the list on the right. Use the arrows to navigate through the trail. Click on thumbnails to view larger images 

You can pick up a guidemap for the trail ( avalable from early May ) 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 stamped self- addressed A5 envelope ( 76p stamp ) 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 click

Please note: there have been a number of changes since the publication of the guidemap. This website will keep you updated. New venues which don't appear in the guidemap are indicated with a letter

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 or ordnance survey map to hand.

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).

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

Many of the venues offer coffee, tea and food, look out for the symbols.


Disabled Visitors

Where you see the wheelchair logo the venue is accessible by wheelchair. Details have been included where there may be access difficulties. For more information, contact the venues directly.
