Sketching in the Hall

Morning Session: 11:30am - 1:30pm Afternoon Session: 2:30pm - 4:30pm Join us for a relaxing sketching workshop in the magnificent Great Chamber at Forty Hall, where you'll draw from the stunning views framed by the Hall's historic windows. Led by illustrator and art teacher Annette Agard-Vernon, this friendly and informal session invites participants to slow down, observe, and capture the landscape beyond the glass through a series of simple, guided drawing exercises. The emphasis is on looking, enjoying the surroundings, and building creative confidence. Whether you're a complete beginner or a more experienced sketcher, this workshop offers a welcoming space to develop your skills and reconnect with your creativity. No previous drawing experience is needed, and all sketching materials are provided. Set within one of Forty Hall's most beautiful historic rooms, you'll sketch the trees, gardens, and panoramic views visible from the Great Chamber windows while enjoying the unique atmosphere of the manor house. Meeting point: Forty Hall Museum Reception Ages: 14+ (under-14s must be accompanied by an adult and a ticket should be purchased for them.)
