All ages welcome as Southgate RFC take up residence in Broomfield Park.
Friends of Broomfield Park were delighted to take part in The Big Draw Festival 2026, joining thousands of organisations around the world celebrating the joy, creativity and accessibility of drawing. This year’s theme, “Make a Mark”, invited everyone to explore drawing as a way of seeing, thinking and connecting — not just creating a finished picture. The event was a great success, with lots of people turning up to unleash their creativity and enjoy trying something new. CLICK TO READ MORE AND SEE PHOTOS AND VIDEO OF THE EVENT
