Admittedly it's not actually in Heysham, but many of the artists
showcasing their work live in Heysham, it's a great place and you
really should visit it. For more information check out their

Coastal Studio Trail
The Trail is a pilot scheme to include artists in a coastal strip running from Silverdale to Overton, and extending two miles inland. Current schedule is from 18th to 31st August, running Tuesday to Saturday. The exact residence schedule will be confirmed when final details of exhibitors are available. Any local artists wishing to be involved, perhaps creatives would be a better term, should mail Qsand or contact Gerry Brookes directly on 01524 851283.To help those artists, photographers, sculptors etc without the use of a studio, it is hoped to use local library facilities. Closing date for entry to the trail is 28th July.
A leaflet giving more exact details should be available soon after the closing date. Meanwhile keep an eye on Qsand's page here for further developments.
