An inspiring day of Nature:
Join us at this stunning lakeside location and enjoy breathtaking views across the nature reserve from our private, tranquil lakeside room.
Surrounded by nature, you’ll be guided step-by-step to paint your own “Wild Swan” contemporary wall art — a beautiful, immersive painting experience where creativity meets the calm of the outdoors.
You’ll learn professional painting techniques to create a dynamic piece in Sarah’s signature loose, expressive style — combining bold brushstrokes, palette knife techniques, modern mark-making and a touch of wild, artistic freedom.
A special event supporting nature — as an added bonus, £5 from every ticket sold will be donated directly to Nottinghamshire Wildlife Trust to support their work helping to restore water vole populations and protect our precious wetland habitats. 🦢🌿
Create and connect with nature, while also helping to support its conservation. What a wonderful way to spend a Sunday morning. 🦢
