All the work in the Wells Heritage Art Trail has been created by Norfolk artists specifically for the event and will open to the public on Saturday, June 23 and right through until the end of September.

Commissioned by Wells Maltings, the Wells Heritage Art Trail will feature 17 artworks by 26 artists, all of which will be for sale.

The trail has been curated by prominent Wells residents and art experts John and Yvonne Millwood. It should take around an hour and a half to complete.

Free trail maps will be available to pick up from the new Wells Maltings complex - the £5m Heritage Lottery funded arts, heritage and community hub on Staithe Street - which is opening at the end of the month.
