Centre, Old Down Country Park, The Hatch Camphill Community and the Mezze at

Visiting procedures
for members of the public Art Trail Showcase exhibition The Art Trail showcase exhibition open daily from 10am to 4pm (not Sunday) from April 22nd to April 29th is timed to coincide with the other events at the 2010 Thornbury Arts Festival. The exhibition in the Council Chamber and the Exhibition Room of Thornbury Town Hall will feature a single piece of work from the artists in the Severn Vale Art Trail together with work from local Craft Groups not taking part in the Trail. The artwork on display is not for sale during the period of the exhibition but contact details of the artists and the makers will be prominent. Wallace and Gromit Artwork Children from all local primary schools will also have the opportunity to exhibit their own Wallace and Gromit inspired artwork in the St Mary arcade in the period leading up to the Art Trail, well worth a look after visiting the Showcase exhibition. There will also be a free creative workshop for children aged 7-14 in the afternoon of Saturday 24th April in a site to be advised. Shop Window Art A number of local businesses are kindly displaying examples of the Severn Vale Artists work. If there is something in the window you would like to buy, click on the artist's name in the list above, or look in the illustrated trail leaflet for the contact details. Surroundings
