Join us for early evening sketching (6pm-8pm) at the South Bank Centre
and Festival Hall by London’s River Thames.
Explore the new South Bank Centre roof garden, sketch the surrounding
buildings and views across the river, and people enjoying the facilities of
this leading arts location. We can also
draw inside the Festival Hall, particularly if the weather is poor.
This event is free of charge, no need to book, just turn up
with your art kit.
Where and when to meet:
6pm: Meet near the doors of the Queen Elizabeth Hall and
Purcell Room (see photograph above). The
roof garden is at the top of the bright yellow concrete staircase in the
photograph.
8pm: Meet at the roof garden (if the weather is good) or
inside the Festival Hall at level 1 by the riverside terrace (if the weather is
poor) to look at drawings done, and to take group photographs.
If the weather is good we could then stay for a drink at the roof
garden bar, or go to the bar/cafe inside the Festival Hall if we prefer. 
The new South Bank roof garden has planting, and views of the buildings in the area, including across the river.
The Festival Hall has interesting interiors, lots of opportunities
for people watching, and views from its big windows, on several levels.
There are views from the Hungerford Bridge/Golden Jubilee
footbridges.
The South Bank has restaurants, bars, planting, and public
art.
