A trail leading visitors to works by local artists has been launched in Cinderford.

The Cinderford Art Trail is an initiative by Artspace Cinderford highlighting locally-produced artworks for people to get out discover.

A colourful map, designed and produced by Zoe Bashar, Dan Guy and Catherine Hawkridge and featuring illustrations from groups associated with Artspace, is available.

Supported by Active Gloucestershire, the trail = highlights accessible spaces, local services, and the vibrant creative work happening across Cinderford.

It runs until the end of summer with locations across the town hosting artworks while others have QR codes linking to art made by community artists.
