Kirkstall Abbey: A Sketch Walk
Gather with Leeds Sanctuary and local artist and historian, Clifford Stead, for a Sketch Walk at Kirkstall Abbey.
We’ll be learning about the history of this ancient site, and the importance of public access to nature and green spaces. The Walk will be at Kirkstall Abbey (meeting point to be confirmed) at 5.30pm on Tuesday 04 August.
No prior experience or knowledge of either history or sketching is required, and we’ll provide you with paper and a pencil!
