the fifth year running,

School Octagon Visual Arts Centre,
and South Gloucestershire Council and use of the facilities at Old Down Country
Park, The Hatch Camphill Community, Pound Barn Gallery Wickwar, Thornbury and
District Museum, Thornbury Pound Cottage Gallery and Thornbury Town Council
have come together
under the umbrella of Thornbury Arts Festival to take part in the Severn Vale
Art Trail. During the Art Trail period, from April 22nd to May 2nd the

appreciate the works on display and hopefully to make one or two purchases of
work that catches the eye. The exact location and times when the studios will
be open can be found by
clicking on the artist's name or minipic below, or in
the glossy Art Trail Guide available from Thornbury Town Hall or Thornbury Library.
