Join the St Peter Port Sketch Club for urban sketching from above!
This week, the group will meet at Victoria Tower at 17:45 on 22 June to sketch around the grounds, with the option to sketch from the top of the tower. Will you find Victor Hugo’s initials carved at the top?
Each week, sketchers meet at a different location to draw for an hour, followed by a drink and a chat. No prior drawing skills are necessary - all you need is a sketchbook and a pen or pencil. The group includes people of all different age groups and backgrounds.
This year, sketches from the club will be exhibited in the George Crossan Gallery.
The Greenman MCC Chaos festival returns to Pleinmont Point for its18th year, over the weekend of 23 – 25 June.
Enjoy live music and a beer with friends overlooking the stunning Guernsey cliffs and the famous Hanois lighthouse. The gates (and bar) will open at midday on Friday - you can come for the day or (if you are 18) you can set up camp and stay for the weekend; camping is free with your weekend ticket.
For those who may not have joined the Chaos gang before, Chaos is a family friendly, safe environment where you can hide from reality, kick back, enjoy some live music and recharge against what has to be the best backdrop of any festival.
Tickets are available online and at the gate.
You can also support the festival’s musicians and suppliers by buying their products and Merch online.
