There are loads of free opportunities to get involved in making and creating work for the Winchester Gallery’s exhibition. The exhibition will be growing over time as we welcome you into the space to help us create an exhibition full of everyone’s drawing and stories about what cycling means to you and your first memories of riding a bike. There is a lovely creation station full of kids friendly art materials for you to use. Draw the bicycle and get creative in the Winchester Gallery!
