Our Portrait Workshop will be a great opportunity to take a close look at the portraits in the exhibition and then to have a go yourself. While much of the work on show is photographic, there are paintings too, and between them all, they demonstrate the key features so crucial to portraiture: character, mood, texture, background, scale, likeness, and of course colour (or black-and-white). Using photos of the portraits in the exhibition, we’ll be making drawings or paintings (your choice), with plenty of advice and tips from Marianne as to how to create both a likeness and an interesting picture.
The dynamic A4 Brass Quartet play an eclectic and accessible programme of music for all ages and musical tastes. The Quartet is comprised of principal players from some of the UK’s top brass bands and the concert promises to be a treat for all the family! A bar will be open on the terrace from 6.00pm
One day course – at Hay Castle, Clore Space
An introduction to painting beautiful botanical studies. You will receive both fresh and dried subjects - seed heads and pods - to work from, or you can take inspiration from plants growing in the Castle grounds!

The Fitzwilliam at Hay
"Bows & Bellows!”
A fun and highly entertaining folk music event with folk trio “Bows & Bellows”. Paul, Sophie and Lucy invite you to join them for an hour of tunes, traditional and baroque plus some of their own. We encourage you to tap your feet, let go your woes, sing and sigh and go home on a high.
Local cider and a food offering available from Epicure events to compliment what promises to be a real musical treat!
