While the trail only happens one weekend in November, the work and preparation for it takes almost the whole year. Find out more about what happens when, and how to help out.

Workgroups & Tasks
With around a 100 members taking part in the trail each year, many hand make light work. There are lots of different tasks and groups to get involved in, so there’s something to suit everyone.
This document shows the many tasks we undertake each year, and who is currently signed up to help. There are several vacancies so we’d love to hear from you if you think you can fill one of them.
Timeline
Getting everything ready for November is a big task, and with so many jobs dependent on being ready for the trail weekend we often need to start much earlier in the year. For example, leaflets need to be distributed in October, which means they must be sent to the printer in September, so images must be compiled, maps designed and listings proof-read over the summer.
You can view the timeline at the link below.
Trail Assets
To help visitors find your venue, we’ve created a set of arrows with the NBA logo and the distinctive trail ‘paint swoosh’. These can be downloaded and printed off to create consistent signage across venues.
We’ve also created Instagram templates that you can use on social media – there’s a general one, one with trail details and a blank one to add your own venue details. Don’t forget to tag us @northbristolartists!
Any Feedback?
We’re always working to update these documents and refine how we organise things to make the next trail even better. Let us know if you spot any mistakes or issues. Email us at [email protected] with your comments.
