PEOPLE of all ages are being invited to be creative, with the help of artist-in-residence Gwynn-fyl Lowe, in the beautiful surroundings of a 15th-Century Worcester merchant's house.

Anyone can take part in the Big Draw at Greyfriars, Friar Street, on Saturday and spend a relaxing afternoon painting or drawing in the garden.

Materials including charcoal, pastels, pencils and paper will be provided.

Gwynn-fyl Lowe will be on hand to offer specialist advice and will have some of her own work on show.

Custodian Rachel Bannon said: "Whether you are a keen amateur painter or a total beginner, the day is designed to bring out everybody's artistic talents."

The Big Draw is part of the national Campaign for Drawing, involving events throughout the country.

The drawing is free but normal admission prices apply to the National Trust house.

Call Greyfriars on 01905 23571, for details.
