Buriton Art Trail was started by Jill and Paul Martin holding an Open Day at their studio at Grantchester House in Bones Lane in 2010.  In 2011 Steve Atkins contributed some garden sculptures placed near the Martin's driveway and by 2012 Fran Vesey had started holding art classes at the Five Bells and many more villagers and associates contributed to a village art trail that included the Grantchester House Studio, the Morgue at the Five Bells, the Seward Room at the Church and Hoploft House garden off Bones Lane.  The Trail has since become a fixture in the Village Events calendar. 

BURITON ART TRAIL 2019 will be held on Saturday 29 June and Sunday 30 June .
