Click here for a flyer or here for a poster giving details of the BIG DRAW at Coventry Cathedral. This is part of a national scheme inviting people of all ages to discover how drawing can connect them with their surroundings and the wider community. This year’s theme in Coventry Cathedral uses the wonderful architecture in Coventry’s Cathedral Quarter. Come and explore on Saturday 29th October from 10am to 1pm.
Continue ‘being part of it’ by entering The Coventry Cathedral BIG DRAW Competition. We will be running competitions for writing (prose and verse), photography and illustration across the year to come. There’s a category for all the family: 11 and under; 12 to 16; and 17 plus. The Cathedral’s website will develop to display selective submissions. The FREE entry to one or all three categories can be made by attending and participating in the BIG DRAW on the morning of 29th October or by contacting Anna Hill at the Schools Department.
