SIP & SKETCH: URBAN DRAWING WITH RICHARD KITSON

28 May 2026

BOOK NOW

Join us for a relaxed and informal evening of drawing, drinks and music in our gallery with renowned figurative and portrait artist Richard Kitson.

Guided by Richard, you’ll sketch the streets and people of Barnsley Town Centre. Urban sketching is a great way to observe and record your immediate surroundings, creating a collection of drawings that can inform further investigations or exist as standalone work. Richard will guide you with his approach to sketching as a starting point for you to get creative.

All materials will be provided and all skill levels are welcome to attend. The full bar service will be available and the first drink is on us!
