Set within a stunning private property in a quiet rural hamlet in Medway, this workshop offers over an acre of beautiful garden space at the end of a no-through road. Surrounded by picturesque garden scenes, medieval English architecture, and country lanes with sweeping views of the Kent North Downs Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, you’ll have endless inspiration right on your doorstep. This is a uniquely private plein air experience — no traffic, no passers-by — making it perfect for anyone who has felt intimidated painting outdoors in public.


Coming from afar or fancy making a staycation of it? The property has a beautiful Air BnB onsite called The Snuggery which at the time of writing, has availability on 7th, 11th and 14th July when our plein air workshops are running, you can view more information about that here:
