Marlo Wren
Colouring nights

Free colouring nights in Cambridge.

One evening a month for grown-ups, and one morning for kids. Bring nothing but yourself: we bring the cards, the pencils and the tea.

First nights: soon

A short silent film, drawn from our cards. Remember colouring with friends? Now there’s a night for it. Free, once a month. A night for grown-ups. A morning for kids. Round one: five minutes. Bold and quick. Round two: ten minutes. A colour you’d never pick. Round three: the slow one. Your way, your pace. Free postcards to take home. And one to send. Starting soon. Then Marlo Wren, signed across an envelope with the wren on its flap, and under it: Colouring nights. Sign up to hear first at marlowren.com.
