Step into a weekend where drawing takes over. Drawing Weekender transforms the architecture and gardens of Hauser & Wirth Somerset into a vibrant, site-wide studio.
Led by artists and tutors from the Royal Drawing School, the programme combines workshops, talks and collaborative activity with open-ended, exploratory moments across the site.
Draw outdoors among Piet Oudolf’s planting, join focused sessions with models inside the Farmhouse, or gather in the Pavilion by Smiljan Radić for artist-led conversations and classes. A free, drop-in Drawing Lab for young people (ages 10–18) runs throughout the weekend, alongside site-responsive drawing prompts across the landscape.
This isn’t a course - it’s a festival of drawing, experimentation and discovery. Move between structured sessions and spontaneous creative moments, and let your practice unfold.
Open to artists of all abilities – with activities designed for adults and children (10+) .
Programme includes free and ticketed events, with both bookable sessions and drop-in access.
