- Booking not needed
- Free event (admission applies)
All through the year, visitors to Mr Straws' House have been drawing pictures of their favourite spaces at Straws'. We've had drawings of everything from cacti to the whole house. This October, these drawings are being brought together in a special display to celebrate what our visitors love at Mr Straws' House. Come back to see the drawing you have done, or come to enjoy what our visitors love about Mr Straws' House. If you haven't had a chance to come and complete a drawing of your favourite space, you will still be able to come and draw at Straw's and add your artwork to our growing mosaic.
