Meet artist and cartoonist Darren Birdie in Newmarket
Join the team at the National Horseracing Museum in Newmarket for a fun, interactive drawing workshop with Darren Bird!
Coined as Birdie since his early days, Darren Bird has established himself as a brilliant, timely and clever cartoonist, producing multiple cartoons on all aspects of horse racing.
He has sketched at many race meetings, from the 2000 Guineas here in Newmarket to the Derby and the Cheltenham Festival – you may have seen him drawing live on Sky Sports Racing, ITV Racing and Racing UK!
Birdie is a living legend, and the Museum are extremely proud to host this unique event - he even illustrated the Newmarket Monopoly board game which is currently on display in the museum!
In this session, participants will meet the artist and learn how to draw like Birdie and come away with their own sketch horse in his unique style. Materials are included in the price.
