A free family festival celebrating one of Whitchurch’s most famous residents – the world renowned artist and illustrator Randolph Caldecott.
About
Caldecott is an inspirational illustrator, artist, cartoonist, and travel writer who greatly influenced the illustration of children’s books in the 19th century. We want the Caldecott Arts Festival to make more people to be aware of this famous Whitchurch resident.
