We hosted a free, open-to-all creative extravaganza in Keighley on the weekend of 13th and 14th September 2025, with creative activities popping up at various locations throughout the town. The beautiful and historic East Riddlesden Hall hosted the core launch activities on Sunday, with activity spilling out into various venues across the town as part of a weekend-long Big Draw takeover!

The weekend was chock-full of creative activity for all ages and abilities, with local artist facilitators running a range of free, drop-in workshops at East Riddlesden Hall. There was a little something for everyone – limber up with larger than life collaborative drawings, make mindful marks in the lower fields, craft your own wearable cartoon creations, and more.

The launch event was made possible by the generous support of Launch Sponsor, Ringtons.

The weekend marked the start of the official Big Draw Festival month, which took place throughout October 2025 and saw thousands of visitors worldwide enjoying events hosted by Big Draw co-creators from galleries to libraries to care homes and more.

So whether you draw everyday, doodle in meetings or haven’t picked up a pencil in years, you were invited to be part of the ‘Drawn Together’ picture!
