Can’t draw? No worries! There are no rules here—stick figures, abstract shapes, or perfectly proportioned sketches—everything’s welcome.


The Runaway Brewery

Great tasting modern British beer. The Google Local Guide say ‘Friendly, passionate, knowledgeable, excellent beer’ Along side excellent beer, Honest Crust will also be serving excellent pizza in the courtyard, if you fancy pre or post Life Drawing snack.
