About the Trail

Welcome to the BS5 Arts Trail.

We are a not-for-profit, volunteer run, Arts Trail weekend that runs every year in September. Covering all areas within the BS5 Postcode, local and incoming Artists alike show their wares across Home Venues, Artists Studios, Community Spaces and local businesses.

Last year in 2024 we had a super turn out on the weekend, with 100’s of people visiting our Artists over both days. Check out our Instagram for pics of the event.

We have some amazing local Businesses that help via Financial Sponsorship, as well as promotion before and during the weekend, printing and distributing our marketing materials, and generally helping keep the buzz of the talent held in the BS5 areas.

Want to help? Check out the Questions page, or get in touch via our Social Media.

Visit the BS5 Art Trail on the 6th and 7th of September 2025 to see artists and makers exhibiting their work.

Follow the map and see how many venues you can visit in across the weekend!
