Drink and Draw with Fidelia Schlegl, Mark Stafford and Francis Todd

Unpack those sketch pads and ready your straws! Drink and Draw is back in session! We're very excited for another evening of drawing at the pub, hosted by ourselves and our friends over at Broken Frontier. As always we'll be joined by our resident cartoonist Mark Stafford and this month we've invited artists Francis Todd and Fidelia Schlegel of Blue Funnel Books! Join us on Friday 31st July 2026, from 6.30pm.

So, what is a Drink and Draw? Well, it's in the name! We'll host an evening of drawing with our guest comic artists, all while having a few drinks together, alcholic and non alcholic. Mark Stafford, our resident cartoonist, will be a regular face at the monthly event, being joined by two guest artists every time. We'll meet at Gosh! for 6.30pm, where they'll be a chance to mingle with the artists and check out their comics, before we head over to The Royal George for 7pm. Once everyone has grabbed a seat and a drink, we'll start three short rounds of drawing, with each guest artist setting their own drawing theme. Gosh! will have the artists work on sale and even have some prizes for their favourite drawings! We will aim to wrap up by 9.30pm, but staying afterwards to continue the fun is more than welcome.

Broken Frontier and ourselves have been running the Drink & Draws since 2015 and we've been lucky enough to have had over 200 guest artists attend! It will be hosted by Broken Frontier's wonderful Andy Oliver and Gosh's Will Humberstone.

Look forward to seeing you all on Friday 31st July, from 6.30pm. There will be limited seating available at the Royal George and seating will be prioritised to those who were at the shop first.
