CHAFF Arts Walking Trail
around Cheddar
May 2024
Thanks to our sponsors, artists, volunteers, and visitors we had another
popular and successful CHAFF Walking Trail.
“The overall standard far exceeded what I had expected and I thoroughly enjoyed meeting the artists”
28 artists exhibited in 12 venues all around the village and welcomed several hundred visitors each of the 3 days. The exhibitions included photography, ceramics, paintings and drawings, printed art, collages, silver jewellery, sculpture and wirework. One of our visitors praised "the great variety of art on show".
Two artists ran workshops and visitors found out about local classes they might wish to join in the coming year.
The money raised for various charities was double the 2023 total, coming in at nearly £900, a wonderful team effort!
The weekend began with a Friday evening launch party where artists, their families, friends, and sponsors enjoyed refreshments and live music and were able to preview the art on display.
With loads of really useful feedback from visitors and artists alike, the committee have got lots of ideas for improvements, and more suggestions and any offers of help for next year are very welcome!

Everyone, including past members and new artists interested in joining us, are welcome to our AGM, to be held at Chestnut Farm, Kent Street, Cheddar at 6.30pm on Monday 14 October. It’ll be a great opportunity to meet up and elect a new committee for 2025.
