Creative Summer Gathering at The Drawing Room

Join us at THE DRAWING ROOM for a relaxed 90-minute Creative Summer Gathering where you can slow down, get inspired, and make something you'll love.

Instead of booking a specific workshop, you'll book a creative session and choose your favourite activity when you arrive from our ever-changing Creative Shelf. Every visit is different, with a wonderful selection of self-led projects created by The Drawing Room and talented local artists and makers.

Depending on the weather, your session may take place in our beautiful greenhouse or outside in our charming courtyard, making the most of sunny summer days while always providing a comfortable creative space.

Whether you're coming with family, friends, your partner, or enjoying some creative time for yourself, there's something for everyone.
