September Art Trail
Two weekends of creativity in the heart of Sudbury
Saturday 20 & Sunday 21 September
Saturday 27 & Sunday 28 September
Art Hubs and Studios open 10:30am – 4:30pm
A Stroll Through Sudbury’s Creative Side
This September, Sudbury will be alive with colour, craft, and conversation. Over two weekends, local artists are joining forces in welcoming hubs across the town — so you can wander between them, discover something new at every stop, and meet the makers behind the work.
From vibrant oil paintings to intricate textiles, playful prints to traditional crafts, the Art Trail is a chance to see art in action. Many artists will be demonstrating their skills, so you can watch creativity unfold before your eyes — and perhaps take home a piece that speaks to you.
Highlights include mixed-media showcases at Salters Hall, prints and crafts at Priory Gate, watercolours and oils at Ransoms, contemporary works at the Art & Framing Centre, and a special textiles exhibition by Eleanor Mills at Mill Tye Gallery & Arts Centre in Great Cornard.
With each hub just a short walk from the next, and Sudbury’s historic streets as your backdrop, the Art Trail is the perfect way to spend a September day.
