Events & Activities

Throughout Burnham Art Trail Week there are events for people to participate in and enjoy

Burnham Sketchers

Thursday 29th June

SO SORRY….

THE WEATHER HAS CONSPIRED AGAINST THIS EVENT ….

Free and open to anyone interested in sketching. Just turn up and bring your own sketching materials. This is an opportunity to capture local scenes in your own individual style using any kind of media and sharing our drawings.

Meeting Point at 11.00am: The Panoramic Painting of Burnham, next to the Clocktower (see map)

From here you can wander wherever you please: enjoy the architecture and back streets of the town or head to the quay with its boats, buildings and the country park, or head east to the open views of the marshes.

Meeting Point at 1.00pm: To share our morning drawings, take a group photo and lunch

Meeting Point at 3.30pm: We meet again at the same place to share our afternoon drawings, take a group photo.

We suggest The Ye Old White Harte Pub on the Quay for a drink afterwards.

NB: This event will be cancelled if it is raining

Art on the Quay

Sundays - 25th June and 2nd July, 11am to 5pm
