satellite map, opening times, a profile of the artist and a gallery of images to help you plan your

event. The Helfa Gelf Art Trail project has received funding through the Rural Development Plan for

Wales 2007–2013, which is funded by the Welsh Government and the European Agricultural Fund

for Rural Development.

range of art available. During visits on the Helfa Gelf Art Trail, you can buy art direct from the

maker or just experience the wide range of art being created in North Wales.
