Britain's What's On Event Guide
Drawn to Water: Quentin Blake exhibition
Thu 18 May - Fri 14 July
As part of our Drawn to Water: Quentin Blake at WWT partnership, enjoy a unique opportunity to explore some lesser-known works from Sir Quentin Blake’s personal archive, on display at our gallery.
The exhibition of 54 of Quentin Blake’s wetland-themed prints provides a unique glimpse into Quentin’s passion for wetands and wildlife.
Discover beautiful illustrations on display using everything from pens, inks and washes to quills from the birds he has illustrated to help bring their subjects to life, all rendered in Quentin’s iconic style.
If you’re inspired by Quentin’s illustrations, make sure you collect one of our seasonal guides full of his unique drawings and explore our wonderful wetlands. And if you’re feeling creative, we’ve also got a whole host of art and illustration activities to spark the imaginations of all ages and abilities.
This exhibition is part of Drawn to Water: Quentin Blake at WWT. Find out more about all the activities you can enjoy this summer.
Drawn to Water: Quentin Blake at WWT is a year-long partnership between WWT and Quentin Blake, one of the UK's best-known and well-loved illustrators, to celebrate the wonders of wetlands. The experience is available nationally at our ten UK wetland sites from Thursday 18 May. New seasonal trails, events and activities will be launched later in the year.
