Creative Summer Gathering at The Drawing Room

Looking for creative things to do this summer? Join us at The Drawing Room for our brand-new Creative Summer Sessions – a relaxed, self-led creative experience perfect for families, friends, couples and anyone looking to enjoy a mindful, hands-on activity.

Rather than booking a specific workshop, you’ll book a 90-minute Creative Summer Session, then choose your favourite activity when you arrive from our ever-changing Creative Shelf, filled with inspiring projects created by The Drawing Room and talented local makers.

How it Works

Book your Creative Summer Session

Reserve your preferred 90-minute session and simply arrive ready to get creative.
