Salisbury Sketchers are a branch of the Salisbury Group of Artists who meet once a month on a Sunday afternoon throughout the summer, to draw and paint at local Salisbury venues or nearby locations. There is no extra charge for these events and friends are welcome to accompany members. No specific skills are needed for these enjoyable and sociable afternoons.
If you are interested in joining please contact Loraine by emailing
A report by Loraine Sherlock
This was our last outdoor sketching event and fortunately it was a lovely sunny afternoon albeit a little chilly by the river.
Some members chose to sketch from Fisherton Bridge looking across at the Clock Tower or the grand building that was formerly the County Hotel, and now the King’s Head owned by Weatherspoons. Others chose a place along the river that flows along to Crane Bridge. There was a lovely atmosphere around us with families enjoying time with their children who were probably excited about going to the Charter Fair in the Market Square.
It was good to chat to a visiting Australian lady who was an Urban Sketcher in her country, and who was pleased to meet fellow artists in Salisbury.
I have arranged for entry to the Cathedral for the last sketching afternoon of the year on Sunday, November 19th. Members living within the SP1,
SP2, and Laverstock areas are allowed free access but have been asked to bring proof of postcode in order to gain free entry. Free
entry also applies to Friends of the Cathedral.
I apologise to members wishing to join us from outside these areas as they will be required to pay £9 for their visit if they
book in advance, (details on the Cathedral website). Otherwise the fee is £11 on the day.
I am sure we will all take care with any paint materials being used, and also be respectful to other people wishing to enjoy
this beautiful building.
