Colouring nights

Free colouring nights in Cambridge.

One evening a month for grown-ups, and one morning for kids. Bring nothing but yourself: we bring the cards, the pencils and the tea.

First nights: early November

A Pōhutukawa postcard, half coloured in pencil.
A short silent film, drawn from our cards. Remember colouring with friends? Now there’s a night for it. Free, once a month. A night for grown-ups. A morning for kids. Round one: five minutes. Bold and quick. Round two: ten minutes. A colour you’d never pick. Round three: the slow one. Free postcards to take home. And one to send. Starting early November. Colouring nights: sign up to hear first at marlowren.com.

A colouring morning for kids

Race the timer, colour things the wrong colour on purpose, and send a card to someone you like. Ages 5 to 11, with a grown-up who stays. Cards, pencils and a snack are on us.
