Ilfracombe Art Trail

9 & 10 May 2026

The Ilfracombe Art Trail is an independent collaboration of artists, makers and galleries all located in Ilfracombe, mostly within a 20 minute walk of the High Street. We’ve even got a couple of venues well worth visiting a short drive away in Berrynarbor, Ilfracombe.

Our Art Trail provides an opportunity to visit venues of your choosing, talk to artists and discover all things new and surprising! There are paintings, sculpture, photography, jewellery, printing, textiles, leather, ceramics and much more. With our easy to follow map and guide you can discover art in some quirky places, most within just a short walk of the High Street.

Come and enjoy the work of local artists as well as some from further afield. Wander through our Victorian streets and contemplate the wide range of art on offer. You can even pause at some of the venues for tea and cake or visit one of the amazing artisan cafes around the town.

An open studio is a place where art is the focus, offering visitors the opportunity to speak directly with the artist or just ponder and admire the works on show. For an artist, it is the pleasure of talking with visitors and hopefully making valuable connections.

There is also, of course, the opportunity to purchase work and obtain information about artists’ events or courses, if they have them to offer.

The Art Trail is a non-profit organisation, predominantly paid for by participation fees. It is administered by a small team of volunteer members.
