With contemporary fine art exhibited throughout the historic market town, unique and inspiring contemporary craft and design and exciting dance, drama, music and performance events, the spectacular Opening Weekend invites you to join us for the day and stay long into the evening.

Tickets for the Art and Architecture trail are £6 per person with under 18s going free.  Tickets are available on the day only, so mark out the weekend in your diary and look forward to seeing you on the Trail!
