    Karen Lloyd (writer in residence with Lancaster University's Future Places Centre) will lead this early summer creative writing workshop, taking initial inspiration from leading women writers on the natural world, including Dorothy Wordsworth, Karen McCarthy Woolf, Robin Wall Kimmerer and Kathleen Jamie. As our lives become increasingly urbanised, many of us have lost knowledge of the wildflowers that play key roles in our ecosystems, a phenomenon which has been called plant blindness. Part of this inspiring day will therefore provide an opportunity to look closely at plants, pollinators, lichens, mosses and related manuscripts in the Wordsworth Trust's collection. A member of the garden team will meet participants to explore the role of plants in Dove Cottage Garden-Orchard, and there will be time for quiet writing in both gardens and woodlands. The group will also have the opportunity to examine Sarah Hutchinson and Emmeline Fisher's moss book, dating from 1841.

  • A-ha: The Movie
    Cinema | (12A) | 108 minutes | 16th June 8:30pm A-ha's hit Take On Me is still one of the most played songs of the last millennium.

When Take On Me reached number 1 on Billboard in the US in 1985 that dream came true.

They only meet on stage, while doing the one thing they love. The film closely portrays the challenging creative and personal dynamics of a group of three strong individuals. This is a story of great music, big ambitions, broken friendship and maybe forgiveness.

  • Gardens, Mosses and Manuscripts: All-Day Writing Workshop
    Karen Lloyd (writer in residence with Lancaster University's Future Places Centre) will lead this early summer creative writing workshop, taking initial inspiration from leading women writers on the natural world, including Dorothy Wordsworth, Karen McCarthy Woolf, Robin Wall Kimmerer and Kathleen Jamie. As our lives become increasingly urbanised, many of us have lost knowledge of the wildflowers that play key roles in our ecosystems, a phenomenon which has been called plant blindness. Part of this inspiring day will therefore provide an opportunity to look closely at plants, pollinators, lichens, mosses and related manuscripts in the Wordsworth Trust's collection. A member of the garden team will meet participants to explore the role of plants in Dove Cottage Garden-Orchard, and there will be time for quiet writing in both gardens and woodlands. The group will also have the opportunity to examine Sarah Hutchinson and Emmeline Fisher's moss book, dating from 1841.
