Each Cartoon County exhibition is supported by a wide range of workshop programmes, and has initiated several educational events that have been carried on throughout the year. In previous years the Gardner Centre has run a Cartoon Club, mainly targeted at young people - practical workshop sessions held by creators with hands-on experience. A series of animation workshops was held in 1995.

Within the community, comics workshops have been held with youth groups, girls groups, older people in a residential home, young adults with learning difficulties, and at Sussex museums. Reports of some of these are available and we aim to put them up on our website, as they may inspire you to organise your own! If you're in the southeast, and would like a cartoonist to run a workshop or participate in a local event you're organising, please contact us by clicking the link in the menu.
