ABC arts trail needs your help!  

Do you have a conservatory, garage garden room or a room in your home you would allow a local artist/maker to use? We would be happy for you to run a coffee stall or other charity fundraiser, for your favourite charity. We have a busy footfall over the weekend. ABC Art Trail takes place annually in the Attenborough, Beeston and Chilwell area it gives a group of local diverse artists and makers an opportunity to meet members of our community and share and sell their work. We have started to plan for our 2023 Trail, which will take place 2nd and 3rd Sept 2023. Some artists/makers do not have a suitable space to open or are a little out of the way from the trail route. We try to make our trail accessible in a weekend, both in size and distance. All artist makers have public liability insurance. The weekend is always enjoyable and fun and we get lots of lovely visitors. It’s a great way to make new friends. If you might be interested please write to us with no obligation. 

​​Comments made by some of our hosts. 
“We decided to host as we love sharing our garden with other people and we enjoy supporting some of the amazing creative people in this area. We also managed to raise some money for our chosen charity by serving tea and coffee. It was great fun! We intend to host once again! “ Maggie ​
“Hosting is such an enjoyable experience, meeting local people and sharing the joy of art work, in all it’s forms. Meeting lots of interesting people” Polly
"I have hosted artists in my open diner/kitchen/snug and my garden. Access was through the side gate and garden, so it did not disturb us much in the house. I really enjoy being part of such a rewarding community event that promotes local artists and will continue to be a host for the ABC Art Trail." Uta
