The National Gallery’s Art Road Trip

The National Gallery’s travelling art studio is coming to Fenland & West Suffolk!

MarketPlace has partnered with The National Gallery for Art Road Trip as part of their 200th year celebrations.

The travelling studio will be stationed at various locations in Mildenhall between 9-13 July, with free workshops and interactive activities for all. We’ll be encouraging everyone to get creative, inspired by the theme of ‘Look up and take to the skies’ in Mildenhall.
