The Big Draw takes place nationwide throughout the month of October and museums, galleries, heritage sites, libraries, schools and parks all play host to a variety of events encouraging people of all ages to discover how drawing can connect them with their surroundings and communities. Put together by the Campaign for Drawing, The Big Draw is one of the world's largest drawing festivals and more than 1000 venues will take part. Schools often invite the wider community to share the pleasures of learning through drawing - last year 22 countries joined the UK in organising events. In the past, places like the centre have all hosted events so there's a good chance something will be going on in your area.About Wellcome Collection
A major cultural venue costing £30 million, the Wellcome Collection combines three galleries: 'Medicine Man', 'Medicine Now' and 'special exhibitions'. In addition you'll find the famous Wellcome Library, cafe, bookshop and a 'forum' to consider issues of science, health and human identity. More about Wellcome Collection
