About

Step into Ilkley’s creative heart this autumn as over 20 local artists open their studios for one weekend only. Visitors can explore the workspaces of painters, printmakers, sculptors, textile artists, and jewellers—offering a rare glimpse into the tools, materials, and inspiration behind the art.

Stroll between venues at your own pace, discover hidden corners of the town, and enjoy conversations with the makers. Many artworks will be available to purchase directly from the studio.

An interactive map and printable trail will be available soon on the Ilkley Arts website to help plan your visit or guide spontaneous discoveries.

Bring a friend, enjoy the walk, and experience Ilkley through the eyes of its artists.
