The Darent Valley Landscape Partnership Scheme has a diverse programme of events, workshops and activities running throughout the year. This includes our exciting upcoming Exhibition Samuel Palmer: Visionary Landscapes Events Programme which ran from January – May 2024.

From walk and draw workshops for adults to immersive virtual reality and hands-on drawing workshops, artist and curator talks, touring the ancient trees painted by Samuel Palmer and a range of family activities – there’s something for everybody to enjoy.

We would love to hear your feedback on any Events you attend.

Please check back for more Events as we will continue to list activities throughout the year…

Events are subsidised by National Heritage Lottery Fund and other funders.
