Join festival author Chris Riddell for our Big Draw-A-Long!
£6 adults / £4 children. Suitable for the whole family aged 6+

Inspired by his book Doodle A Day, Chris will lead an exciting live drawing session, where you can see Chris draw live and create your own set of doodles. There’s something for the whole family, from colouring mad kids to paint curious parents. Who knows, you might be inspired to doodle every single day! Feel free to bring your favourite sketchpad!
Paper and pencils will be available on the day.
