This weekend event celebrates the quality of artists and makers living and working in the Malmesbury area. It is an opportunity to meet the artists in their studios, homes and pop-up spaces, and maybe pick up an original piece to take home. Buying artwork direct from the artists and makers is an enjoyable experience, you’ll be supporting local creativity while acquiring something special and unique that you will cherish in years to come. We recommend you follow the numbered routes on the maps to get the most from your visit.

For Art Month 2025, Caerbladon invited local young people to submit artwork for a specially curated professional exhibition of seven young people’s art at the John Bowen Gallery, Malmesbury Town Hall,  from 13 - 24 September. The artwork was selected from submissions by local young people 13 - 18 years old, and works by Chris Hills, Jess Waddell, Iona Carter, Lizzie Marriage, Rufus Lawton and Ellie Priest are on display.

Less than perfect, intuitive inky drawings, collages, paintings, photographs, journals, mixed media assemblages, figurative totems, boxes and bundles of memorial pieces. 

This small collection brings together paintings inspired by the changing light and quiet richness of Malmesbury's meadowlands. All are connected by an enduring fascination with landscape, memory, and the rhythm of natural cycles.

The exhibition draws together a range of the artist’s work, reflecting different media and stories, from the time spent in the ‘Jungle’ to confronting his demons and the search for peace and wellbeing in painting, photography and illustration.

Caerbladon, in partnership with Fruitful Malmesbury, has created a temporary garden in Birdcage Walk for the Summer months as a place of peaceful contemplation, sociability, sanctuary and immersion in nature. The project is part of the Pride of Place Malmesbury Festival 2025.
