Richmondshire Ramblers is celebrating the 950th anniversary of Richmond Castle with a series of short self-guided walks.

The walks are described in a free booklet which will be available from the Richmond Information Centre, located in the Market Hall and at the Castle Hill Bookshop. The four leisurely circular routes will guide walkers through our beautiful local scenery, whilst offering interesting insights into Richmond's Norman and Medieval past.
The booklet and individual walks can also be downloaded from www.richmondshireramblers.org.uk

A Swaledale Festival exhibition

Twenty-year-old James Owen Thomas always preferred to see litter in bins rather than it spoiling the countryside, town centres and seashore. He realised that some litter could be recycled, and soon found a use for discarded lottery scratch cards - making them into intricate and highly coloured pictures and greetings cards.

Swaledale Festival is delighted to present this exhibition as part of its Young Artists Platform.

By Pamela Crawford, Sarah Farooqi and Andy Kerr

An exhibition of watercolours, inks, acrylics and prints ranging from delicate watercolour florals and local views, to Northumbrian landscapes and intricate illustrated maps.

‘Hildegard Transfigured: A Medieval Trance for the 21st Century’. In partnership with ‘RICHMOND 950’.

An exhibition of original feltworks and photographs inspired by rural life and landscapes from a mother and daughter collaborative.

Recently she has transferred her drawing and painting skills into felt making – exploring wet felting using a range of wool fibres and silk, then adding detail with needle felting techniques. Inspiration for her work is drawn from wildlife and Yorkshire landscapes.
