The Big Draw Festival is the world's biggest celebration of drawing. It brings to life sensational, experimental and creative activities for the whole family to enjoy.

The Big Draw Festival is for anyone who loves to draw, as well as those who think they can’t!

2023 Big Draw Festival theme #DrawingwithSenses changes the focus from external to internal, exploring the way we personally process the world and internalise our experiences through our senses. This is a great year to look at the 5 basic senses: Touch, Sight, Sound, Taste and Smell and experiment with these and those you are less familiar with to transpose your experiences into creative work and drawings in 2023.

Special feature
