Burnham on Crouch has a vibrant arts scene and has been home to many artists over the years. Our annual art trail showcases local creative talent, featuring the works of painters, sculptors, photographers and makers. The town’s quayside and historical architecture have drawn artists to its charm, while the tranquillity of the Dengie Peninsula offers quiet inspiration in its countryside and wide open coastal views.

It's a popular spot for sailing enthusiasts, with several yacht clubs and the marina dotting the riverside, it hosts sailing events throughout the year. The town offers other activities besides watersports, with birdwatching and riverside walks being high on the list.

Historically, a significant port, this unspoilt Essex town is known for its maritime heritage and still retains a lot of its character. The High Street features an array of shops, cafes and restaurants, contributing to the town's lively atmosphere.

Burnham Art Trail would like to say "Thank You" to all of our funders.

Burnham Town Council has given their continuing support over the years. On this 20th anniversary of the Trail they have generously provided funding towards the schools and land art projects, Art on the Quay and additional signage. It has particularly helped us to encourage young people to become involved and also to publicise all of the participating creatives from the Dengie and across Essex.
