Sunday 31st May 2026 | 12:00 – 17:00
Led by Zane Karklina
To round off May, we’re stepping slightly outside our usual programme – we are invited to sketch at the HÖME-GROWN vintage car meet in Southall, with a curated line-up of 1970s–80s classic cars.
No booking is required unless you’re bringing a vehicle yourself. Entry is free.
This community-led event brings together well-kept and lovingly restored vehicles, with owners often on hand. It’s a relaxed setting, with cars displayed in an open yard rather than a formal show layout – good for getting closer views and spending time with details.

The event takes place at Open Southall Art Centre, within Parkside Yards. Follow the signage to Southall Coffee House.
What to Sketch
- A line-up of 1970s–80s classic cars, many owner-maintained and presented with care – expect distinctive profiles, period details and well-kept paintwork. Owners are often nearby and usually happy to chat if you’re interested in the story behind the vehicle.
- Parkside Yards courtyard – a mix of open space, seating, café and gastro pub activity, with people moving through the site.
- The Green Quarter setting – contemporary apartment blocks arranged around landscaped public space, with a stream running through the development.
- Tree nursery – rows of 600 young trees, offering structure, repetition and contrast to the built environment.
- Padel courts – enclosed, geometric spaces with players in motion.
- A 10-15 minute walk takes you to Southall Broadway, with a much busier high street if you’re after a change of pace later in the day.
