Gunby Hall bathed in warm autumn sunlight, surrounded by seasonal colours and mature trees, with the historic country house standing proudly at the heart of the estate.

Event description

Pick up a free sketching bag from Visitor Welcome in the car park, complete with basic drawing materials to help you capture your own unique view of this special place.

Find inspiration in the colourful Kitchen Gardens, relax in the Courtyard with a cup of coffee and a sketchbook, or wander down to the Ice Pond and take in the reflections dancing across the water. Whether you're a seasoned artist or simply enjoy getting creative, the choice is yours.

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