Our Place, Our Marks - the Big Draw

Take a moment to slow down and connect with the sights, sounds and atmosphere of the estate.

  • Booking not needed
  • Free event (admission applies)

Listen to birdsong, the rustle of leaves, the gentle movement of water or the buzz of activity around you, then use chalk to capture what you see, hear or feel on our large collaborative drawing board in the Garden.

Add your own mark and become part of a growing artwork inspired by Gunby. As each visitor contributes their unique perspective, the piece will evolve throughout the season, creating a shared celebration of creativity and connection with nature, ready to be enjoyed by all on Sunday 1 November.

Free entry for National Trust members. Normal admission charges apply for non-members. Please visit our website for full details and admission information.
