DISCLAIMER


All information in this guide is correct at the time of printing. Each venue is responsible for the information it has provided for this Guide. Somerset Art Works cannot accept responsibility for unforeseen circumstances that may occur during your visit. Visitors are advised to contact venues about access and opening times before visiting.


FAMILY FRIENDLY POLICY


During Somerset Art Weeks 2018 most of the venues will be happy to welcome families. Venues showing the Family Friendly logo are expecting visits from families and groups, and will be doing their best to provide clear information and facilities for your family. However, some of the venues are open for public access on a temporary basis during the Art Weeks only, such as artist studios and private premises, so they will have limited facilities, and great care should be taken when visiting them.


Adults are responsible for the supervision of any children in their care at all times. SAW and participants cannot accept liability for any loss, damage or injury sustained by any member of the public during their visits.
