Can you guess the headlines? (Picture: Instagram)

The end of November will see Boxpark Wembley transformed from a street food and bar hall into an art-lover’s paradise.

From 29 November to 1 December, the UK Illustration Championships will be held at the expansive venue, which opened last year.

Illustrators will compete in live 60-minute bouts, with styles and techniques clashing as they create their A2 masterpieces.

They’re not just drawing anything either – they’ll be taking inspiration from Metro.co.uk headlines.

That’s because Metro.co.uk has partnered with the UK Illustration Championships 2019, giving all the inspo needed through the (frankly wild) goings-on in the world.

You can probably expect some Brexit in there, and perhaps some I’m A Celeb or Black Friday. Anything that’s happening in the world is fair game.

Confirmed illustrators include Rockbottom, Tizer, The Real Dill, and Nicolas Rossius. It’s not to be missed.
