Now open for take-away hot drinks!
Communities Thirst is our community-led coffee cart at Trestle Arts Base serving Trestle's visitors, hirers and local community.

We are getting things ready for you but in the meaning, drop by for a delicious warming hot drink or snack. You’ll always find a warm welcome waiting for you.

Trestle Gallery – Artist Residency
Next submissions open in May 2026 for residencies beginning in 2027
We’re inviting expressions of interest from local and county-wide artists for a new opportunity to exhibit their work at Trestle Arts Base.
We would offer an attractive 12-16 week slot in our Gallery with a generous amount of wall space using our new hanging system for no cost. You’d also be more than welcome to rotate your work throughout this time.
In return for the use of the Gallery space, we’re looking to hear from artists who are passionate about well-being and would be interested in running creative workshops for the community during your exhibition period. We’re happy to discuss what format these could take!
Artists need to be DBS checked and have the appropriate insurance.
For more information about this opportunity and an informal chat about how this might work for you, do get in touch.
We would love to hear from you!
Please get in touch with the Gallery Programmer (working day is a Friday) on gallery@trestle.org.uk
