Events

We always welcome dogs and their owners at Norton Priory, and on the 22nd September we invite you to come and join in with some dog friendly art!

Graphic artist duo Art92 will be here from 12 till 4pm leading animal themed art workshops for beginners, breaking down the graphic art style into simple easy steps for anyone to follow.  We invite you to bring your dog along, and have a go at drawing them in our classroom!  Doggy treats will be on hand for any wriggly sitters, and Art92 artist Helena will be here to give you all the tips you need to create your masterpiece!  

As part of the day, there will be stalls in the atrium from local businesses that cater to dogs and their humans, including healthy treats, dog walking, and grooming services.  

Children go free!  Up to three children are included free with any paying adult.  All activities are included with general admission, and tickets can be bought on line at Art Tickets.
