The most eagerly anticipated arts event in the Henley-on-Thames calendar is back for its 14th year running, involving nearly 300 participating artists and makers at 33 venues - the biggest yet!

Covering an area of 50 square miles of beautiful countryside from Bix to Hurst and Shiplake to Waltham St Lawrence, the trail attracts more than 10,000 visitors over the May bank holiday weekend.

From skilled amateurs to award winning professionals, the trail covers the full gamut of arts and crafts. Larger-than-life sculptures sit alongside delicate jewels; abstracts are juxtaposed against detailed botanical art.

Venues vary from artists' studios to village halls. All have free entry, and many offer refreshments, demonstrations or workshops. The trail also raises money for local charities - close to £1,000 last year.
