Join Purple and Grey for a big draw event at the historic scenic Creswell Crags home of the UKs first rock art.
Be inspired by this wonderful gorge, bring your sketch books and own drawing materials, and spend time exploring the Creswell area and discover a diverse range of cultural and geological sights and attractions.
Creswell Crags is a limestone gorge honeycombed with caves and smaller fissures. Stone tools and remains of animals found in the caves provide evidence for a fascinating story of life during the last Ice Age between 50,000 and 10,000 years ago, Further evidence became known in 2003 with the discovery of Britain's only known Ice Age rock art.
Meet Purple and Grey outside at the visitor centre entrance at 10.30 am and spend a few hours in the grounds drawing the sights in your chosen medium. Return around 12.30 - 1 pm around the cafe area for a cuppa and share your drawings with each other.
