Arts Trail details

This year’s Arts Trail will see about 150 artists showing in over 50 venues around Southville, Bedminster and Ashton in Bristol. We anticipate in excess of 4000 visitors over the weekend. The Arts Trail is always a great event to wander around, so book it into your schedule now!
