The Art Trail provides visitors with the opportunity to witness artists and makers in action, delve into their creative processes, and engage in conversations about their artistic journeys. In essence, visitors can uncover the intricacies—the influences, ideas, materials, tools, and skills—that converge to bring a finished work to life.

This year the Art Trail runs on Sunday 31 March & Monday 1 April, from 10am to 4pm each day. For a list of all the 2024 trail’s wonderful creatives go to > this page and from there visit each creative’s page.

Visitor, Theresa Daley’s response to the 2023 Art Trail…

Thank you Cygnet for what was a most exceptional day on the Art Trail 🙏🙏🙏

Say what you will… but I reckon Cygnet is the best place in the world to live and the Art Trail today yet again proves that.

Thank you to all the organisers (Vicki Taiwo and co). I so very much appreciate all you organised, just perfect and seamless.

Thank you to the generous artisans that opened your doors and hearts to us all.

What perfect weather too. For chatting endlessly by crackling fires and picking the brains of artisans on their craft, and forging your own things.

My cup is full, as is my heart and once again all I can say is just how blessed I am to have had such an experience.

I mean, where else are you offered apples straight from the tree whilst you sit fireside and chat without any concern for time. Where else do people so lovingly and with such joy share their methods, crafts and smiles.

If you are looking for something to do tomorrow I can’t recommend the Art Trail enough, this is something special indeed. This is something that holds a magic so beautiful you’ll feel you are in heaven.

Get out there, meet some extraordinary artisans, buy something special, I tell you, you will be so very glad you did.

Thank you Theresa
