Building On Success

Trail Map from 2009
At the last Bollington festival in 2009 local artists on the trail saw hundreds of visitors come through their doors for a very successful and enjoyable open studios event, with many visitors even managing to view work at all the locations on the map over the two weekends.
The next Festival Art Trail we hope will be just as successful with lots of artists already signed up for it. Keep an eye on The Artists & Location column as we get their details filled in. All the artists will be open for either the first or second trail weekends with most artists open for both giving you plenty of opportunity to fit your visits in around the Festivals many other events.
We will have a new trail map for 2014 which will be available online and as a brochure nearer the time, detailing the artists and venues.
There will also be exhibitions to visit along the Trail including the Bollington Art Group Exhibition, an exhibition from Bollington’s Primary School Children as well as the Art Trail Exhibition at the Bollington Art Centre.
