The town centre will be brightened up with art works, displays and exhibitions this weekend as part of an “arts trail". The trail will be organised by the University of Bolton with several partners for Saturday, June 15 as a way of showcasing the town’s arts and cultural venues. The arts trail follows on from another event this year held by the Standard Art Collective and the Hive Gallery in the Market Place Shopping Centre.
