“Come into Tunbridge Wells town centre to enjoy a free activity”

BID Director for Royal Tunbridge Wells Together, Sarah-Jane Adams, designed the concept of Art Week to showcase the town’s creativity.

“Tunbridge Wells is such an aesthetically pleasing town, and has such a high concentration of makers, artists and creative businesses, as well as a long history of being immortalised in works of art,” says Sarah-Jane.

“We wanted to highlight some of these businesses, and allow families and individuals to come into the town centre to enjoy a free activity, learn a new skill and discover a new local business. We hope there’s a range of options for everyone, whether you’re an art buff or stick figures are your limit!”

Once Upon a Wish Events

We love the sound of the Once Upon A Wish ‘Make a Crown with Royal Characters Session’. And also our junk-modelling obsessed kid would love to make a 3D object out of cardboard with Whirligig Toys. Such a lovely thing to do this Summer in Tunbridge Wells.

Stilt walkers, face painting and more!

On Saturday 27th August there will be stilt walkers, face painting, balloon modelling and glitter face painting by the Millennium Clock. You don’t need to book this, just go along and join in!
