The BS5 Art Trail brings together the legacy of the Easton Arts Trail (which ran most years from 2006 to 2019) and the St George Arts Trail (2018 and 2019). Neither took place in 2020 due to the pandemic, but the tradition continues strong.
We are a volunteer-led, not-for-profit arts event celebrating creativity across the BS5 community every September. Local and visiting artists and creators showcase their work in home venues, studios, community spaces, and local businesses, fostering a vibrant and welcoming atmosphere.
In 2024, we had an incredible turnout, with hundreds of visitors engaging with artists and creators across both days. Be sure to check out our Instagram for snapshots of the event.
We are immensely grateful to the fantastic local businesses that support us through financial sponsorship, promotional efforts before and during the weekend, and the printing and distribution of marketing materials. Their contributions help sustain the excitement and shine a spotlight on the talented individuals in the BS5 area.

Celebrating creativity across the BS5 community, the BS5 Art Trail is back for its fifth event on the weekend of 6-7 September. A wide variety of artists and makers will be exhibiting in community venues, studio spaces and homes across the BS5 postcode area.
The inaugural BS5 Art Trail took place in September 2021 and saw visitors enjoy a wide range of art and crafts from over 80 local exhibitors.
Boardwalk estate agents have really supported this growth by sponsoring the event and placing display boards / banners at venues to help visitors find their way around the Trail.
Follow the map and see how many venues you can visit in across the weekend!
