A great turnout and super location this morning. What an amazing variety of subjects and styles (feel free to post more photos of your sketches, I didn't take as many as usual). No doubt the station is a location we will return to in future.

Our next meeting will be April 21st in Handbridge, just over the Old Dee Bridge. More details to follow.

Chester Urban Sketching Group
Next Meeting: Chester Railway Station (Forecourt)
Tuesday 17 March 2026 from 1015 to 1230.
Our first visit to this very busy station with lots to sketch. We won't be going 'railside' but there are plenty of interesting buildings, including the station and adjacent hotels, and spaces within and without. There are some building works going on, so be aware of them, and the needs of travellers and staff. There are public loos, the refurbished Tap pub and a coffee outlet.
We will meet just outside the entrance, to the right, under the canopy, and have a throwdown in the refurbished Carriage Shed, through the gateway to the right, at 1230.
Enjoy yourselves!

What a privilege today to sketch in the magnificent Chester Town Hall. A big welcome to our new members and well done to all for capturing so many challenging angles.

Looking forward to our next session in the Town Hall on February 17th, meeting at the entrance at 10.30am. Here’s a reminder of our forthcoming sketching dates. As always each session provides an opportunity to sketch directly from our surroundings and then to gather & chat at 12.30. All welcome!

More photos from our first meeting on Tuesday, including an atmospheric group photo (thanks to Bob, the duty chaplain, for taking it, and to all of the staff for making this such a good retreat).

On another wet and dreary day, it was good to see so many people give up the pre- Christmas scramble to meet and sketch in the warmth and vitality of Chester Market. Please post your photos on here to remember the day.
In the meantime, here are some views of the meeting yesterday.
The meetings will start up again in January, date to be announced, and we think that we will be able to set a timetable for the next six months. We may do this as part of the next meeting, so do have a think about what you'd like to do.
In the meantime, a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to us all!

Calling Chester Urban Sketchers! Wednesday 17th December is our last meet up of the year and a festive opportunity to sketch in or around Chester market. We will meet at 10.15am by the tables near the big screen and the stage, and again at 12.30 for the sketchbook ‘throw down’. Surrounded by delicious food, warm drinks & lots to draw, it may be hard to leave, but for hardy sketchers the Christmas market will be just outside. If you haven’t been before, the urban sketching community is a worldwide movement dedicated to drawing on location, directly from life rather than photos. We often draw architecture, street scenes and people, enjoying the process and not aiming for perfection or finished artworks. All welcome! ✍️

Reminder: Wus-Chusk meeting on Sunday 30 November, Chester Market 1000.

18/11/2025

A reminder for our meeting tomorrow ✍️ All welcome!
