This year we are getting in touch with nature at the Burnham Community Allotment, Arcadia Road, CM0 8EF on Tuesday 25 June

Free and open to anyone interested in sketching or working ‘en plein air’. This is an opportunity to capture the peace and tranquillity of the outdoors, enjoy sketching or painting the sheds, gardening paraphernalia or developing your own individual style and using any kind of media you wish to bring.

There will be time to share, chat and be inspired!

In the morning Sue Spiers will demonstrate watercolour painting from 10:30am - 12:30pm

Informal sketching with Tracy Saunders. Just turn up and bring your sketchbook, drawing materials and something to sit on. 2:30 - 4:30pm

Parking available at the gate.

Art on the Quay 2024

Art on the Quay, where creativity meets the waterfront!

Sundays 23rd and 30th June from 11am to 4.30pm

Immerse yourself in the vibrant atmosphere of our Sunday events which showcase artwork of some of the talented creatives taking part in this year’s Art Trail, all set against the picturesque backdrop of the Burnham Quay.

Chat with artists, see them working in their chosen mediums, demonstrating their skills in painting, pottery and papermaking, to name but a few.
Have a browse or take the opportunity to buy or commission unique artworks.
Some artists may even help you to have-a-go and tap into your own creative streak!

The relaxed vibe continues with live music from the 'The Potato Badgers' on both Sundays from midday to 3pm.

Sited opposite 'Ye Olde White Harte Hotel', look out for the pink gazebos which are impossible to miss!

On both Sunday’s demonstrating their skills are: Sue Spiers, Charlie Bran, Susan Clare, Coral Skelsey, John Green, Frances Austen Hardy, Eugenia Chepurna .

Stephen Jordan and Lindsey Way will also be joining us on the second Sunday.
