About the Severn Vale Art Trail
Celebrating local artists and their work
The Severn Vale Art Trail is based in Thornbury, and reaches out from Slimbridge in the north to Frampton Cotterell in the south, covering Berkeley, Dursley, North Nibley, Wotton Under Edge, Charfield, Wickwar, Tytherington and Alveston with many other villages in-between. It’s a great way to get ‘off the beaten track’ and discover some truly unique locations and see talented artists and makers.
There are several artists new to the trail this year and a huge variety of art with prices to suit all pockets. The Trail includes sculptures, paintings, photographers, ceramics, upholstery, jewellery, woodturning, plus a whole lot more - there’s something for everyone.
Visit the trail, enjoy talking to artists about their work and processes, take the opportunity to view and purchase original artwork. Visiting individual artists’ studios offers a unique insight and opportunity to chat about techniques and inspirations or see a group venue where multiple artists will be exhibiting in a welcoming and relaxed environment.
Plan a journey of creative discovery as you wander from venue to venue and all venues are free!

As the visual side of Thornbury Arts Festival, the Severn Vale Art Trail was established in 2006 out of a desire to promote the work of local artists and make art accessible to all. The Thornbury Arts Festival is a registered charity and is organised by a team of dedicated and passionate volunteers who make up the main committee, the Eisteddfod and the Art Trail Committees.
The SVAT committee is made up of volunteers: Kathryn Symons, Eryl Daniels, Barbara Ray, Angela Williams, Anne McAllister, Derek North, Lynda Knott and Nadya Webster
