Cambridge Sketch Group

Join us for this month’s free monthly meet-up, as we dive into the cozy, festive vibes of winter!

November's theme is "All Things Wintery," so grab your sketchbook, pencils, and favorite markers, and come ready to draw scenes of bonfires, steaming mugs of hot soup and more seasonal delights. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced artist, this is a relaxed, welcoming space to connect, create and get inspired!

We’ll be providing blank cards if you’d like to design your own winter or holiday greeting cards. Bring a friend, meet fellow artists, and let’s get creative together! The Winter Bar at The Yard has a great selection of warming drinks to accompany our sketching session, including mulled wine and spiced cider! Come and enjoy this Winter Warm-Up, at Sketch & Social's final Ely-based event for 2024.

We post photos of the group's drawings on our Instagram (@sketchandsocial_ely) as well as future meet up times/locations - so make sure you're following for updates!

We hope to see you there!

Join us for the final Sketch & Social meet-up of 2024! To celebrate the close of another creative year, we’re mixing things up with a more social gathering to sketch, sip, and connect.

For this special December edition, we’ll be gathering at the Castle Inn where the vibe will be casual and cosy. Instead of our usual setup, this meet-up is designed for mingling and sketching on your feet, as space is limited!

Bring your sketchbooks and supplies if you wish, but we're aiming for more social than sketch during this meet-up! Whether you’re capturing the holiday cheer or simply soaking in the atmosphere, it’s a perfect chance to unwind with fellow artists and toast to a creative year ahead.

We'll be on the top floor of the Castle Inn on the right hand side - to find us, look out for the Sketch & Social sign!

Come along for the chance to meet fellow creatives and explore your artistic side!

Mill Road Winter Fair - an eclectic and colourful mix of music, food and other fun, community events - has become a regular feature of Cambridge Urban Sketchers.

Bring gloves, a stool or mat, and layers, it is notoriously chilly sitting and sketching for a couple of hours (indoor cafes available!)

We'll meet at 11am at the corner entrance of St Barnabas church. We'll meet back at the same location at 1pm to share our work and take a group photo. After that join us for some post sketching socialising, food, and drink.

The event is free but does not include food, drink, or art materials. Everyone is welcome whether you've just started to draw or have been a professional artist for many years. We look forward to seeing you there.
