The art trail has been an annual event for the last 12 years and originally the event was named the Hailsham Festival of Art & Culture –  Art Trail and Town Trail.  Over the years the trail and festival developed and is now held in September covering 12 days within Hailsham and the surrounding areas.  Sadly cancelled in 2020 the trail went Virtual in 2020 and 2021. A few artists will be exhibiting in 2021 – find details on our diary.

As well as the art trail the festival involves live performances, both musical and drama, film and literacy events plus competitions and dance forms. The art trail includes exhibitions, open studios, open houses and displays in shops and businesses.
