Sketch Out at Gossington Hall

Sketch Out at Gossington Hall

£8 • Friends £6

For the month of May, we’re heading down to the exquisite Gossington Hall (near Slimbridge) home to the Tatham family and the brilliant Cotswold Gardening School.

The site boasts some nine acres of glorious gardens to provide us with colourful, sculptural inspiration for our morning of strolling and sketching.

We’re keeping everything crossed for decent sketching weather but if there’s a deluge, owner and artist Caroline Tatham has offered us use of the hall’s classroom space as shelter for our drawing session.
Artist Rosie-Marie Marshall-Jane leads this morning’s session which allows you to work at your own pace with helpful support and warm encouragement.
