Come along and join us in Kirkoswald to celebrate World Swift Day on Saturday 3 June.

Weave your own swift: Join a free session and weave your very own swift in willow with guidance from expert willow weaver, Phil Bradley.

The willow weaving sessions will be between 10am – 4pm at the Methodist Chapel, Kirkoswald, which has a flight of stone steps at its entrance. Lunch will be provided – please share any specific dietary requirements when booking.

Booking is essential, please email Sue Rowlands

Guided walk: Find out more about the lives of these extraordinary birds that stay on the wing for most of their lives, even when they’re sleeping. Discover the activities that have taken place in and around Kirkoswald to help these birds that are struggling to survive, and what you could do to help them.

The walk will be approximately half a mile, in and around the village of Kirkoswald where some of the pavements are uneven, steep and may be a bit slippery if wet. Suitable for adults and children over 5 (all children must be supervised by an adult). Please bring appropriate footwear and warm, waterproof clothing. Toilet facilities will be available in Methodist Chapel.

No booking required, meet at the Methodist chapel ready to walk at 11.30am
