Organiser and featured artist Eliza Brown said: “We now have all artists and venues confirmed and it is looking to be a brilliant community event.
“On top of that we are trying to get some art classes for younger visitors on the trail to inspire the next generation of artists in the town. We are also looking at entertainment and music so there’s something for everyone.
“It’s a very exciting project and we really hope as many people as possible come down and see it.
“The artists involved are varied, as are the venues, from independents to chains. It’s set to be something very special.”
