Step back in time and sketch one of Canberra’s most beautiful historic sites with Urban Sketchers Canberra at the stunning Lanyon Homestead.

Set against the hills and the winding Murrumbidgee River, Lanyon’s restored 1850s homestead and convict-era outbuildings offer endless inspiration — from rambling gardens and heritage architecture to sweeping rural views.

This is a free, relaxed, drop-in sketching session for all levels. Bring your favourite materials, find a spot in the gardens or near the buildings, and draw alongside fellow creatives.

After sketching, we’ll gather for a friendly sketch throw-down to share work and connect with others.

☕ Enjoy coffee and food from the Lanyon Café or bring a picnic and soak in the landscape.
