WELCOME ART LOVERS
...to the first ever Royal Tunbridge Wells colouring book, full of familiar scenes from around the town centre.
This book has been created by the Royal Tunbridge Wells Together Business Improvement District, as part of our new project, Art Week.
From Monday 22 to Monday 29 August, we’re bringing a series of FREE arts and crafts activities, workshops and classes for adults and children to central locations – as part of that, we’ve commissioned local artists to produce these beautiful black and white scapes for you to colour and keep.
The RTW Together Business Improvement District is funded by town centre businesses, and works on behalf of town centre businesses. You can find out more about our work at www.rtwtogether.com or on Instagram and Twitter @rtwtogether

COLOURING COMPETITION
Enjoyment isn’t all that’s to be had from this book – for the competitive colourers amongst you, you can scribble your way to success with our special competition.
We’ve partnered with our friends at M. Saltmarsh and Rymans, both of Monson Road, to provide THREE opportunities to watercolour, crayon, pencil or felt tip your way to an inspiring prize of art supplies. Each hamper of age-appropriate arts, craft and stationery goodies is worth £100, ensuring you or your little ones can keep the creativity going long after Art Week has finished.
There are three categories: Under 10, 11-17 and Over 18. M. Saltmarsh will be casting their expert eye over the masterpieces to judge all the submissions, as the oldest art shop in England!
TO ENTER
1. Complete any of the pages within this colouring book, in any style, with any materials.
2. Scan your finished masterpiece, or take a clear, bright, sharp photo of the finished colouring page on a camera or phone.
3. Send your entry to events@rtwtogether.com, including the full name of the participant, and which age category they are entering. You can also enter by tagging us in your photo on Twitter and Instagram @rtwtogether
TERMS & CONDITIONS
Closing date for entries is Monday September 19th 2022. You may enter as many completed colouring pages as you like. Prizes need to be collected by the winners (or a representative) in person from a central point in the town centre, and we will ask the winner (or their guardian) to take part in a promotional photo. By sending us a photo of your colouring entry, you give us permission to use this image, along with a first name (not surname) in any promotional material, such as press coverage, social media and our town centre magazine to promote the colouring book project and Art Week.
