Tollesbury Arts Trail 2026

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.

Along the trail: Open studios and homes, where artists open their doors right across the village, so simply wander the trail. Tollesbury Archive, with Nik Bradbrook's photographs of old Tollesbury, including the Crab and Winkle Line. Maritime heritage, covering the village's fascinating waterside history, with activities to keep younger visitors busy. And The King's Head, to pause for food, a drink or two, and a well-earned slice of cake.

Come along, wander the trail, and leave with local art and a slice of cake.
