Join RIBA Learning for some experimental drawing inspired by the beautiful and historic surroundings of The Great Hall at Barts North Wing. Hone your drawings skills or loosen up by taking on the challenge of drawing with a long stick. You may discover a new style, concentrate more on what you are drawing or just have some fun in this glorious setting.
This event is being run as part of Barts Heritage Big Draw Festival; all activities are free. More information about the event and visiting Barts North Wing.
Barts North Wing
Barts North Wing is home to the magnificent historic interiors of the Great Hall and Hogarth Stair, designed by architect James Gibbs as part of his redesign of St Bartholomew’s Hospital in the 1730s. After a year of repair, restoration, and conservation Barts North Wing will be reopening in October 2025 with a host of family and adult events.
