After a year “on tour” BIG DRAW little people is back where it belongs in the Riverside Gallery and for the first time we have a theme!

The Big River Draw will link up 300 Steps to the River and BIG DRAW Little People creating a wonderful celebration of the River Medway.

Alongside our giant River Medway Mosaic we will fill our blank walls with children’s drawings and build an exciting exhibition!

We have 5 new workshops to get your creativity flowing but the gallery space will be open during the day for you to drop-in and do your own thing or be inspired by our “how-to-draw’s“.

We know how long the summer holidays can feel, trying to keep little people entertained and the “I’m bored, I’m hungry,… what can we dooooo” can feel endless (and expensive!) BIG DRAW little people was created for those days when you’d exhausted all the country parks, had enough of soft play and offered a perfect solution for a classic British rainy day.

Please see individual posts for times and dates and we can’t wait to see you what you can create.

The activities will all suitable for all artistic abilities, for ages 3 to 12 years old and all materials will be provided.
