Steyning Art Trail

27th–29th May and 3rd–4th June

Tucked away on the edge of the South Downs, the historic town of Steyning hosts an annual art trail not to be missed. A variety of venues are situated within an area small enough to be covered by foot, but with a quantity and quality of artwork which attracts attention from far afield.

Visitors can leave their car in one of the convenient central carparks and enjoy encounters with artwork in local artists’ homes and studios, community halls, a historic church and also a number of boutique shops nestling among the Tudor architecture on the High Street. It’s an Alice in Wonderland journey of creative discovery with many of the venues offering cream teas, demonstrations and of course a friendly welcome.

The local population of artists share a passion for joining forces each year to put on this big event within the small town. They not only embrace all manner of media and style within their cohort, but also invite guest artists to join the trail so there is something new to see each year.

This year there will be sixty-four artists exhibiting, including nine new members and thirteen guest artists, in twenty-three venues. Enough to whet the appetite for a day out in Steyning this summer.

From 27th to 29th May and 3rd to 4th June, venues open 11am to 4pm. www.steyningarts.co.uk
