Peacock Arts Trail

North-West Wiltshire’s Peacock Arts Trail flies again, from 11-19 September, and over 70 fabulous artists and craftspeople from Corsham, Chippenham and Melksham are taking part.

The free-to-visit event will see artists welcoming people into their studios, organising ‘real life’ workshops or (new for 2021) posting live virtual demos on the Peacock Arts Trail website.

There are also group events at venues including Corsham’s Almshouses and Pound Arts Centre; Chippenham’s Yelde Hall and King Alfred’s Hall, and Melksham’s Town Hall, amongst others. Look out for displays of work in windows lining Corsham and Chippenham’s town centres.
