The Chew Valley Arts Trail is an annual privately run, weekend event showcasing the creative abilities of people who live or work in a beautiful rural area only a few miles south of Bristol.  As well as being very close to the famous Chew Valley and Blagdon Fishing Lakes, it is near to Bristol Airport, the Heritage City of Bath and also not far from the City of Wells and the Cheddar caves.

Thirty three venues opened for the weekend of 8th and 9th October 2011 where visitors were able to meet over ninety artists.  They included painters, illustrators, printmakers, cartoonists, potters, sculptors, bookbinders, photographers, jewellers, vintage textile and candle makers.

We hope visitors enjoyed a very versatile weekend when they went to studios, homes, outbuildings and village halls. There were opportunities to watch people at work and to discuss their styles and techniques, browse or buy and also to enjoy the countryside of the Chew Valley.
