St. Ann’s has many rare and unusual trees set in grounds designed to promote health and well-being. Free observational drawing sessions were run weekly on the grounds of St. Ann’s to learn about nature, history and environment in a relaxed and informal way.
No drawing experience was needed; go for one hour, join us later or come for the whole session. Please bring your own drawing materials and dress appropriately for being outdoors in any weather. A folding chair or ground rug may be desirable. Meeting Place: Chestnuts Café, St Ann's Rd, London N15 5BN Location of the day’s drawing activity will be left at Chestnuts Café for latecomers or call 07517 523 395. |
Special Events:

- Special guests with a personal history of St. Ann’s have been invited to give a short introduction on their involvement;
