Follow Your Art
Prestwich's community art trail

The much-loved community arts trail returns for Prestwich Arts Festival 2025! We’re inviting every painter, sculptor and maker with an M25 postcode to share their creativity with the neighbourhood and fill Prestwich with art. This year's theme is On Our Way - inspired by the newest Prestwich mural at the Prestwich Metrolink stop.
