Ilkley's first ever Arts Trail

And we hope it goes well. The llkley Arts Trail runs from the 8th- 16th October and will see the lovely Yorkshire town of Ilkley having its first Art Trail with Open Studios and other venues, including exhibitions in unusual spaces. Some venues will cover most of those dates with participation swelling over both weekends as Artists open up their studios, homes, garages and invite you in to see their work. If it's anything like the Saltaire Arts Trail, then I am sure that enthusiasts, and even first-timers, will feel the buzz of the open houses and workshops on offer. Read the Ilkley Gazette's review of the much anticipated Trail here.
Cakewalk will be running a small exhibition in line with the Ilkley Literature Festival, and will be showcasing some of PIPO's book-related work in the shop. Emma from Cakewalk is also holding a fab tombola with a twist... in and around Ilkley will be some books randomly left about, each with their own number inside. If you find one, then take it along to Cakewalk to claim your prize! And whilst you're there, check out some of the beautiful arts and crafts. PIPO is featured with some notebooks, book clocks and comic envelopes.
