There will also be a supply of sketchbooks; graphite\, charcoal and watercolour pencils available. \nThe activity will be based at Bollihope Bottoms and is suitable for ages 8+. \nImage: Lionel Playford \nTo book tickets please use the link below. \n\n\n\n \n \n\n\n  \n      \nImage: Lionel Playford \n  URL:https://northpennines.org.uk/event/spirit-of-place-art-activity/ LOCATION:Bollihope CATEGORIES:Art,Family-friendly ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://northpennines.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/Peatlands-1.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="North Pennines National Landscape":MAILTO:communications@northpennines.org.uk END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/London:20230701T100000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/London:20230701T150000 DTSTAMP:20260404T002040 CREATED:20230524T091129Z LAST-MODIFIED:20230606T151711Z UID:10000430-1688205600-1688223600@northpennines.org.uk SUMMARY:National Meadows Day at Low Way Farm - family event DESCRIPTION:Join us on 1 July 10am to 3pm for a day celebrating the magnificent meadows and farming history of Teesdale. The North Pennines AONB contains almost half of the remaining species-rich upland hay meadows in the UK. As well as being a rare and important habitat for wildflowers\, upland hay meadows also support a whole range of invertebrates and birds. \nHigh Nature Value farming practices in the uplands mean that many of these meadows are being managed in much the same way that they have been for generations. These farming practices protect the unique habitats of the North Pennines whilst also producing high quality food. Whilst the management regime of meadows is similar now to 200 years ago\, the machinery available to farmers has changed beyond all recognition from scythes to large tractors and mowers\, and from handmade pikes of hay to modern balers. \nWe want to celebrate this important habitat and its cultural history with a variety of fun activities suitable for all ages. There is no need to book\, come along and take part in activities: \n\ndisplay of farming machinery old and new\ndisplay of machinery used for meadow restoration\nbotany walk around the meadows\nart and craft activities\na closer look at the special species of plants through a microscope\ndisplay of typical upland hay meadow species grown from hand-collected local seed\nmeadow restoration talk\ndisplay of historic hay-time photographs\n\nDelicious tea and scones will be on sale made by the Farmhouse Kitchen. \nLocation : Low Way Farm\, Holwick.\nCar parking available\, access from road the towards Holwick (follow signs for The Farmhouse Kitchen) ///addicted.proven.encloses \nOr \nAccess on foot from Middleton or Bowlees via Pennine way: ///dark.releasing.going \n  \n  URL:https://northpennines.org.uk/event/national-meadows-day-low-way-farm-family-event/ LOCATION:Low Way Farm\, Holwick\, DL12 0NJ CATEGORIES:Family-friendly ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://northpennines.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/Park-End-meadow-.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="North Pennines National Landscape":MAILTO:communications@northpennines.org.uk END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/London:20230628T100000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/London:20230628T153000 DTSTAMP:20260404T002040 CREATED:20230524T090447Z LAST-MODIFIED:20230609T100705Z UID:10000426-1687946400-1687966200@northpennines.org.uk SUMMARY:Adult activity: Killhope felting workshop DESCRIPTION:The felting workshop on 28 June 10am to 3.30pm will provide an opportunity for a small group of adults (18+) to explore the mining museum and create a piece of felt art work based on the beautiful display of Victorian spa boxes onsite. These were created by miners as a way of displaying the unusual rocks and crystals they gathered. Workshop participants will gather lead ore and minerals from the washing floor and incorporate these in a highly textured piece of 3D felt artwork. This artwork will be created using a technique called Shibori where objects are tied into the fabric and revealed as it is cut open. \nPlease use the link below to book. \n\n\n\n \n \n\n\n  \n  \n            URL:https://northpennines.org.uk/event/adult-activity-killhope-felting-workshop/ LOCATION:Killhope Lead Mining Museum\, DL13 1AR ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://northpennines.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/Felting-Kirkcarrion-Bright.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="North Pennines National Landscape":MAILTO:communications@northpennines.org.uk END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/London:20230628T100000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/London:20230628T130000 DTSTAMP:20260404T002040 CREATED:20230428T190308Z LAST-MODIFIED:20230609T100208Z UID:10000211-1687946400-1687957200@northpennines.org.uk SUMMARY:Wildflower seed collecting DESCRIPTION:Join us for a session of collecting globeflower seeds from species rich meadows in Teesdale on 28 June 10am to 1pm. \nGlobeflower is an iconic species that is present in some of the best species-rich\, wet meadows.

Working with photographic panels and found natural materials the light sensitive panels will map the constellation of stars to be seen from the pavilion at the summer equinox. \nEach roof panel is made from special photographic material that changes shade according to the daylight levels at the time of its creation. Each of the nine panels will take 30 minutes to create. The roof will be installed on the pavilion at the end of the day. \nThis free event will take place outdoors\, it is accessible to all and no experience/skills are required. Drop-in at anytime during the day\, no booking required. \nThe pavilion is to be constructed in timber\, echoing ancient ‘roundhouse’ construction\, with hazel panels wrapped around the outside. All the materials used in the construction are to be sourced locally. The stargazing pavilion will be co-constructed with volunteers who will be making the hazel panels that will encase the green wood uprights and seating.

Working with a small team of geologists\, we will carefully examine all 68 of Long Meg’s Daughters and record the geological structure of each.

At the same time\, we will record any damage around each stone (eg by rabbits) and this information will be used to plan conservation work. \nVolunteers need no previous experience\, just plenty of enthusiasm to learn more about Long Meg. Professional archaeological and geological supervision will be available on both days. In order to participate in the survey\, volunteers will need to be able to walk around the site\, use a basic camera\, and complete survey forms. Background information will be provided to all participants prior to the survey. \nThe weather in late May in the Eden Valley can be gorgeously hot and sunny\, or more like midwinter. Everyone taking part should check the forecast and wear appropriate clothing. Strong waterproof boots are recommended. \nMeet in the new Long Meg car park at 10am\, finish 5pm (possibly earlier depending on speed of survey\, weather etc).
