A one-day arts trail through the village – open studios, artists at work, and artworks tucked around the streets.
After a hugely successful first year, the Arts Trail returns with even more artists and makers – every one with a connection to Tollesbury and the surrounding villages. Explore a wonderful range of art and craft, watch makers demonstrating live, and perhaps even have a go yourself.
