The 3-day art extravaganza has attracted 40 local artists who will be showcasing their work in 22 locations from shops and churches to pubs and showrooms.
The artists, who this year include painters, silversmiths, furniture makers, jewellers, ceramicists, bookbinders, digital artists and embroiderers, will be on hand to talk about their work.
New for this year will be a charity Postcard Exhibition: each artist has generously donated a piece of original work in postcard form and these will be available to buy for £20 each. All of the proceeds will be going to the East Cheshire Hospice so you can buy a piece of original art and support this wonderful local charity at the same time. Viewing and sales will be held at Art Trail sponsor Castletons Accountants on Kennerleys Lane.
There will be some Art Trail workshops, including
