Come along for a group draw and a friendly catch-up at the Natural History Museum.<\/strong><\/p>\n

We\u2019ll meet at the Garden Kitchen Caf\u00e9<\/strong>, connected to the iconic Natural History Museum, London<\/strong>. After a relaxed cuppa and introductions, we\u2019ll head into the museum together to draw.<\/p>\n

The Natural History Museum is inspiring and visually rich, from its architecture and magnificent ceilings to its world-famous collections of animals, fossils, and natural wonders. You\u2019re free to explore and draw whatever captures your interest<\/strong>, at your own pace.<\/p>\n

Some of the group will be heading to the Cadogan Gallery within the museum<\/strong>, a beautiful and quieter area featuring fascinating natural objects and specimens. Highlights include delicately carved shells<\/strong>, penguin eggs<\/strong>, and the much-loved Guy the Gorilla<\/strong>, making it a wonderful spot if you enjoy detailed observational drawing. If you\u2019d like to sketch near others who are also drawing, this is a great area to gather.<\/p>\n

Please note: The Museum has a limited number of chairs available to hire<\/strong>. You\u2019re welcome to request one directly from the museum, but availability is not guaranteed, and it\u2019s up to you to return it afterward.<\/p>\n

At 2:00 PM<\/strong>, we\u2019ll meet back at the caf\u00e9 (optional) for a relaxed catch-up and a chance to share a peek at each other\u2019s sketchbooks.<\/p>\n

Everyone is welcome<\/strong>, beginners, professionals, and anyone in between. Bring your sketchbook, your favourite materials, and your curiosity.<\/p>\n
