2026 was the 20th Anniversary of the Severn Vale Art Trail, a big thank you to everybody who took part. ​

​​The Severn Vale Art Trail celebrated its 20th anniversary in 2026 and it was the biggest and best yet, featuring more than 80 artists and makers across 36 venues.

 

Based in Thornbury, the trail stetches beyond the town itself—from Slimbridge in the north to Frampton Cotterell in the south; Wickwar in the east and Oldbury in the west, and many other villages in-between! It’s the perfect opportunity to step ‘off the beaten track’, explore unique locations and discover the work of talented local artists and makers.

 

This year welcomed a host of new artists and venues, offering an impressive range of artwork to view and buy.  From sculpture, painting and photography to ceramics, upholstery, jewellery and woodturning, and much more besides - there’s truly something for everyone.

 

New for 2026:

• Follow the art trail on your bike

• See an exhibition of work by local Ukrainian artists (venue 32)

• Castle School students are exhibiting at two venues (26 and 28)

And be sure to check opening times before setting off!
