Join us for our first-ever walking and doodling adventure at Dudley Zoo this May! This is a fun, casual meet-up where we’ll explore the zoo, sketching everything from giraffes to tiny lizards. Whether you're using your planner, a sketchbook, or just doodling for fun, this day is all about creativity and enjoying the experience!

What’s Included?

✅ A helpful tip sheet with sketching prompts and encouragement
✅ A chance to meet fellow creative minds and planner lovers
✅ Optional drawing set available for purchase (select at checkout)
✅ A relaxing social meet-up at Castle View pub afterward (optional, but let us know if you’re joining)

What You Need to Know:

📍 Location: Dudley Zoo, West Midlands
🎟 Entry Ticket: You will need to purchase your own zoo entry ticket on the day or book in advance.
⏰ Meeting Time: We will meet at the entrance of Dudley Zoo at 10:00 AM and enter around 10:10 AM (or once everyone arrives).
📱 Running Late? No worries! We’ll have a chat set up beforehand—just let us know, and we can either wait or arrange to meet you once you arrive.
⛰ Terrain Warning: The zoo is very hilly, but there is a train available to help reach the top.
🖊 What to Bring: A notebook, planner, or sketchbook + a few pens/pencils (travel light!)
🍴 Food: Bring a packed lunch or purchase from on-site cafés
👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Children Welcome: Feel free to bring little ones, but keep in mind that we will be spending time at enclosures to draw. You are free to explore at your own pace!

🚗 Traveling from Afar?
There are a few hotels within walking distance of the zoo and even closer to the pub if you’d like to stay over. If you're making a weekend of it and want something else to do, we highly recommend the Black Country Museum—we may be hosting an event there later this year if this one is successful!
