Batheaston artists will be opening their studios to the public on the last weekend of September, with 2025 being the 5th anniversary of this popular event.
There will be 50 artists exhibiting in 5 venues and in their home studios alongside creative workshops and a display of suffragette memorabilia.
The Batheaston Art Trail has become a regular event in the West Country arts calendar, offering art and craft lovers a great day out in a beautiful English valley.
Ceramicists, illustrators, graphic designers, textile artists, sculptors, painters, printers, and jewellers will all be part of the 2025 art trail.
The Art Trail will take place over two days, Saturday 27th and Sunday 28th September, with venues open from 10.30 am – 4.30 pm each day. Please check the website for more precise information www.batheastonarttrail.com
Apart from individual studios, venues on the trail will be the Batheaston New Village Hall, the Scout Hall and St John the Baptist Church, with the latter also offering refreshments. Workshops will be held in the Youth Club and the Rhymes Pavilion. Lunches and refreshments are also available at local cafés on the High Street on the Saturday.
With the River Avon, Secret and Forest Gardens and National Trust river path to the south and the idyllic St Catherine’s Valley to the north, the easily-accessible village of Batheaston is the perfect place for a day out and is easily accessible by bus from Bath city centre.
The art trail also celebrates Batheaston’s connection with the suffragette movement, with bunting marking the venues in the signature suffragette colours of green, purple and white. There will be a display of suffragette memorabilia in St John’s Church on the trail weekend.
