With a plethora of Arts Trails and Open Studios to choose from this autumn, why not make your first port of call Portishead- with 3 wonderful venues within walking distance – in fact the half hour walk along the South West Coast Path between Portishead Pier and Black Nore Lighthouse (my venue 28 is along a little path just behind it) is a lovely morning or afternoon in itself. I’m at venue 28, 12 Glenwood Rise, Portishead with Ian Price and Hamish Young, we’re open 11am-6pm Saturday and Sunday. The art is looking great and there’s the added bonus of a little adventure through the garden to the lighthouse! More info and app available at www.northsomersetarts.org.
