This summer, Clarks Village in Somerset invites visitors to trade their shopping bags for golf clubs with an exciting new attraction: an art-inspired mini-golf course. From Saturday, July 19 to Sunday, August 31, the Alfred Gillett Trust lawn transforms into ‘Art & Putt,’ a nine-hole course celebrating some of the 20th and 21st centuries’ most influential artists.
Open during regular outlet hours, this colorful installation blends playful putting challenges with artistic flair. Each hole draws inspiration from legendary figures such as Andy Warhol, Salvador Dalí, Frida Kahlo, and Yayoi Kusama, creating an immersive experience that marries creativity with fun. Players will navigate a polka-dotted pumpkin homage to Kusama, line up shots through Warhol’s iconic Campbell’s Soup Cans, and tackle surreal elements reminiscent of Dalí’s work.
The Art & Putt course offers an engaging 45-minute activity suitable for all ages. Tickets are priced at £8 per person and available on-site at the Art & Putt ticket booth—no advance booking required.

Now, with our new mini-golf course, we’re thrilled to offer a fresh and exciting activity that blends art and play in a unique way. We can’t wait for everyone to enjoy this fun new addition.”
Accessible from the Restaurant Terrace, Art & Putt promises an immersive cultural experience perfect for families, art enthusiasts, and golf lovers alike.
