- Booking not needed
- Free event (admission applies)
We are part of the world's biggest drawing festival. The Big Draw Festival is a global celebration of creativity. Since launching in 2000, it has championed drawing as a universal language and a powerful tool for learning and self-expression. Every October, organisations around the world take part, hosting events that demonstrate the endless possibilities of drawing. From hands-on workshops and exhibitions to street art, large-scale collaborative murals, and more, the festival brings people together to explore, create, and have fun. Whether you’re a lifelong doodler or haven’t picked up a pencil in years, The Big Draw is a reminder that drawing is for everyone.
