Have you got what it takes to design a mascot for the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park Authority’s Oriel y Parc?

The St Davids landscape gallery, visitor and education centre has set the challenge as part of The Big Draw, a UK-wide scheme run by The Campaign for Drawing.

Oriel y Parc is running a series of art and craft events from today (Saturday October 25th) to Friday October 31st to mark The Big Draw and the mascot design competition will run alongside them.

The winning design will be professionally drawn and used to promote Oriel y Parc’s Discovery Room. The winner will receive a framed copy of their drawing.

Oriel y Parc Education and Events Officer Luci Williams said:

“Our theme for The Big Draw is Hidden Landscape and we have activities taking place throughout Oriel y Parc – so we’ll be decorating biscuits in the café and doing all sorts of arts activities in the visitor centre and the Discovery Room.

“We want people to draw like they’ve never drawn before! Anyone of any age is welcome, it’s not just for children. Anyone who comes to Oriel y Parc during half term week will have chance to enter the mascot competition, we’re looking forward to seeing people’s designs.”

Oriel y Parc is open from 9.30am to 5.30pm daily (and from November 1st will be 10am to 4.30pm daily).

The Big Draw art and craft events run from 11am to 4.30pm. Most of the events are free, with a small charge for the remainder.

From November 1st Oriel y Parc opening hours will be 10am to 4.30pm daily.
