Family Crafts and Watercolour Painting at Lacock Abbey
Join us in Lacock’s beautiful Botanic Garden for a summer of fun family activities and watercolour painting all week.
We’re inviting you to paint your own masterpieces in the spirit of the Talbot family, who lived at Lacock Abbey in the 1800s and were accomplished artists who created over 600 watercolours.
The Abbey, located at the heart of the village within its own woodland grounds, is a quirky country house of various architectural styles, built upon the foundations of a former nunnery. Visitors can experience the atmosphere of the medieval rooms and cloister court, giving a sense of the Abbey’s monastic past.
The museum celebrates the achievements of former Lacock resident, William Henry Fox Talbot, famous for his contributions to the invention of photography.
Entrance is through Visitor Reception on Lacock High Street. The activities are based in the Botanic Garden.
This is a family event in which all accompanied children are welcome.
