About this Event

Art in the Chapel

Set inside the beautiful chapel at The Gainsborough Bath Spa, Art in the Chapel is a relaxed two-hour creative experience , the perfect way to slow down, get inspired, and try something a little different.

You'll start with a glass of fizz and some nibbles before settling in for a talk from Flowers by Passion, who will walk you through their stunning seasonal floral display and share the story and artistry behind it.

From there, local Bath artist Emma Taylor will guide you through a gentle illustration workshop. Whether you've never picked up a sketchbook or you draw regularly, this is a lovely, no-pressure session to observe, sketch, and create in your own way, all within the most gorgeous setting.

A little art, a little storytelling, and good company in the heart of Bath. We'd love to have you join us.
