Join us in the historic Russell House Gardens in Broadway, famously painted by John Singer Sargent in his masterpiece Carnation, Lily, Lily, Rose. This unique experience offers an hour-long time slot where you can observe three professional artists as they capture a scene featuring models dressed in the attire of Sargent’s era. Stroll through the beautiful garden, soak up the 19th-century ambiance, and witness artistic talent in action.

Your ticket includes access to the garden, an invitation to return at 3 pm for an exhibition of the completed paintings, a complimentary glass of fizz, and the chance to engage with the artists. Plus, each ticket enters you into a raffle to win one of the day’s paintings.

This is a one-of-a-kind opportunity for art lovers, gardeners and history enthusiasts alike—don’t miss out!
