July

Late to the party this month, but there’s still plenty to do.

Celebrate ~ Goods Things Collective in Morecambe is celebrating ten years of creative communion with an open house weekend, 18-20th July. Home to the Morecambe Community Riso Press and a range of creative clubs, there’s a cheerful line up of events and hands-on activities along with the launch of their gift shop, live performances and a pop up cafe.

See ~ There’s a nice amount of art to see in Kendal throughout July, including some beautiful pieces and a good dose of inspiration to get your hands dirty in Expanding Landscapes: Painting after Land Art at Abbot Hall, collage by Amy Story at The People’s Gallery in Kendal Museum, and Confluences at Cross Lane Projects, a group exhibition curated by Rebecca Scott exploring interactions between co-director Mark Woods and artists in London and Cumbria. The exhibition builds on ‘the idea of artist as tributary…’

Browse ~ hunt for treasure among restored furniture and collectibles at Silverdale’s newest shopfront, Le Bricolage.

Stay ~ book some off-grid time away at the dreamy camping barn, exclusive use campsite, or secluded cottage at Dodgson Wood near Ulverston.
