Following
a very satisfactory sketching visit last spring to Alexandra Palace, we have
decided to revisit this splendid interior space on Monday 14 March.
We will
assemble at 11am in the Palm Court, which is the Palace’s western entrance hall
where we will be able to sketch the palm trees, sphinxes and pyramids under the
enormous curved glass roof, as well as any other visitors.
We can
also go outside and sketch the spectacular building (if dry), and the
southwards panorama of London.
Refreshments can be bought from the Bar & Kitchen which has full facilities, is interesting enough to paint, and has views from the windows. The bar
has tables in the Palm Court, if we use these we should buy some drinks or
food. Otherwise we suggest you bring your sketching stools.
Ally
Pally has two car parks, the closest one to the front entrance is in The Grove,
(if you are coming from the Crouch End direction turn to the left just after
the Garden Centre entrance, and please do not park in the Garden Centre). The
other car park is at the far end of the building beside the entrance to the
skating rink. We are going on a non-event day so there should be no parking
difficulty, no crowds, nor any entrance fee.
Alternatively,
various buses go through the park. You can find a map and full travel details here.
We look
forward to another companionable sketching day out with IAS artists and their guests.
