Visit Mr Straw’s house after dark

The National Trust property is taking part in the nationwide Museums at Night initiative, which sees hundreds of museums, galleries, libraries, and heritage sites open their doors for special evening events over the weekend of 18th to 20th May.

As well as seeing this unique property after hours, visitors will be able to view objects that are not usually on display.

Booking is essential for the event at 7pm on Friday 18th May.

“This is a rare opportunity for visitors to see a National Trust place in a different light,” said director for the Midlands Beccy Speight.

“We’re really working to increase the opportunities people have to come to these special places in the Midlands – whether that’s opening more in the winter or offering longer opening hours.”

“Even our most frequent visitors will experience a new side to their favourite place at this special event.”
