Sudbury September Art Trail 2026

This September, Sudbury's creative community comes to life as artists open the doors to their studios and small groups gather at creative hubs across the town and surrounding area. Together, they form an inviting art trail, giving visitors the chance to wander from one venue to the next, discover new work and meet the artists behind it.

From paintings and prints to textiles, ceramics and traditional crafts, there will be plenty to see and explore. Some artists will also be demonstrating their skills, offering a glimpse into the creative process and the stories behind their work.

With studios, galleries and hubs opening their doors, there is no set route to follow. Choose your starting point, take a stroll through Sudbury and see where the trail leads you.

Seven hubs take part: York Road, 29 York Road (Peter Greenhill); Salters Hall, 2 Salters Hall, Stour Street (Anne Lowe); Priory Gate, 57 Friars Street (Kate Perkins, Sally Freer, Caryn Noad); Ransoms, Red House Lane off Meadow Lane (Jane Ford, Moira Fraser Steele, Shuna Clarkson); The Art & Framing Centre, 8 Friars Street (Emily Fox); Acton Lane, Firbank (Val Bright-Jones); and Mill Tye Gallery & Arts Centre, 3 Cornard Mills, Great Cornard (Dan Hussey, Honor Surie), where Captured Light: Paintings & Chairs from Suffolk is showing alongside the trail.

Art Trail leaflets can be picked up at Mill Tye Gallery.

The trail forms part of Sudbury's Heritage Open Days, and is also billed as Sudbury Artists' Autumn Open Studios 2026.
