Time to change festival at the Norwich Forum. Millennium Plain is covered with marques with amazing experiences going on in them. Here the Norwich Dandies encourage the general public to engage in life drawing. Models put on clothes from the dressing up box and find props. Then lay about on a chaise-long. The artist drawing can swap places with the model. All the pictures are put up in the marque gallery in rows to dry and to exhibit to everyone.
