Come on down to Chiswick House and Gardens on Saturday 14 June 2025 between 11-1 pm.

This drawing event will be held in the surroundings of the beautifully restored  Kitchen Garden where you can be inspired by the flowers and vegetables to be found there.

Lisa Read, the talented book illustrator will be on hand to help with advice, tips and ideas about sketching. Check out her website on https://www.inkyflamingo.co.uk/

This event is suitable for everyone regardless of their level of sketching experience. It’s also an opportunity to spend time enjoying nature and a relaxing creative activity. Plus the chance to make and pick your own tisane teabag from the herb garden and enjoy a lovely fresh cup of herbal tea too!

Tickets are £15.00.

All proceeds will go to the Chiswick House & Gardens Trust.

The Big Sketch event is the same weekend as the Artists at Home weekend on 14th and 15th June https://www.artistsathome.co.uk/l/map
