“It’s something people all over the country can really enjoy because drawing can help them deal with complex issues in a way that can engage others.

“That’s one of the beautiful things about it – it can take people on a journey without them feeling that it’s complicated. It’s perhaps less frightening and more inviting than other kinds of art.

“The space at Trinity Buoy Wharf is so welcoming, so open and so re ec ive.

“Anyone is welcome to submit work, but we would recommend that people are over 18.

“There’s no age limit as such – we don’t want anything that would stop work being submitted.

“So if you think it’s a drawing – a good one – and it’s a drawing you want to test in this kind of way, then it’s a fabulous opportunity to get your work seen by a really distinguished panel.”

We love value at Wharf Life and so, by extension, we love Co ee And Olive at Surrey Quays. Operating out of a shipping container outside the shopping centre, this small cafe is a jaunty shade of green – pepped up even further with brightly painted chairs and tables outside.

What stands out even more, however is the prices on o er, with freshly made wraps starting at £6.95 for a tortilla stu ed full of falafel or halloumi.

Opt for a Falafel Box, however and you’ll nd yourself with a generously lled container with ve deep-fried balls of goodness atop a mixed salad, hoummous and a stick of fried halloumi for £7.95. It’s a serious feed complete with black olives and a dressing that combines a glint of vinegar with a zesty punch of lemon.

Best of all, it’s served up with a congenial smile from a family business that’s o ering its customers a really solid deal.

Oh, and before we forget, they do unctuous oblongs of baklava for a mere £1.80 per piece. In short, Co ee And Olive is a place that sweetens the deal even when no extra sugar is required to make it a winner.
