Herne Bay Festival 2026
Friday July 24 to Sunday August 16

Walk and Sketch

Start at the Kings Hall

FREE EVENT

Each attendee will be given their own handmade sketchbook (which they will be able to take home), and we will walk from The Kings Hall to The Pier stopping at the Clocktower and Bandstand to do small 3 minute sketches. Each sketch will be done slightly differently e.g looking at the view then remembering what has been seen and sketching from memory, sketching with eyes closed, one line drawing etc

Open to anyone from aged 8 to 100 as long as they are mobile!

There are 15 spaces available for each session.

We will be celebrating our lovely town by walking in the sun by the sea and drawing the surrounding landscapes celebrating the wonderful architecture we have in the town

Contact Deb Smith to book a place

A £5 deposit per person will be required which will be returned on attendance at the event
