The Big Draw takes place nationwide throughout the month of October and, for the weekend of 10th and 11th October, Morden Hall Park and the Royal Air Force Museum. Big Draw supporter Quentin Blake is often among the illustrators, authors and performers promoting drawing, storytelling and some very big pictures. This is a fun, free family day out that's sure to get even the most reluctant artist scribbling.About Kenwood House
