Escape the everyday and immerse yourself in nature with this lovely walking and drawing workshop at Belton Estate.
Get inspired by Belton's beautifully diverse set of gardens and natural features. The snowdrops are already in full bloom, so by mid-February the crocuses and daffodils should be popping their heads up too.
This workshop is ideal if you have not drawn since school or are an avid sketcher. Local artist Vanessa Stone will be on hand to guide and encourage you and you will also have the freedom to draw what ignites your interest!
Materials are included as well as a hot drink and traybake of your choice from the Stables Café.
