Soup Talks return for another season of weekly dis

Soup Talks return for another season of weekly discussions from artists, poets, gardeners, historians (amongst many others). And of course delicious soup !!

To kick off the programme on Thursday 2nd October, experimental Jeweller Ganna Slizkova will share her thoughts on the full scale Russian invasion of Ukraine in 2022 which prompted a strong response from the Ukrainian jewellery community.

This talk showcases that work, as well as the answers to the question : “How do you fight a war as an artist?”

Just £5 to attend the talk, or £10 for a warming bowl of soup. Booking as always via our website under ‘What’s on’

21st Century Reboot The Farmer’s Arms at Lowick

21st Century Reboot

The Farmer’s Arms at Lowick Green is re-imagining itself, building on 5 years of successful operation, the pub is now extending its programme to expand the education and arts aspects of the organisation, linking up with Lawson Park and other projects through the Crake Valley and beyond. Director Adam Sutherland said ‘it’s such an exciting opportunity for us and for the local community, with winning the Ampersand Award (Britain’s largest art prize £150k ) we are really able to move the whole Valley project forward linking with other places and people in the valley, being able to demonstrate and access the amazing cultural history we have, set in a very special and important environment’.

Grizedale Arts board confirmed the change of direction saying, ‘It is so important that community resources like the Farmer’s Arms are kept open and with the extraordinary conditions surrounding the hospitality industry new and imaginative solutions need to be found. Grizedale Arts is committed to creating opportunity and making this vital building sustainable’.

Caféteen returns with the café reopening on 1st November at 10am. The project (which has received funding from a local patron) offers the teenagers the opportunity to develop arts projects alongside the running a café. They will be creating the image and menu in conjunction with artists, chefs and craftspeople throughout October ready for the grand relaunch, please come along to support and encourage them.

Alongside the popular community lunch held at the Farmer’s Arms every Thursday the lively talks programme returns from 25th September with an evening of Poetry, followed by an eclectic range of fascinating talks from the role of crafts in Ukraine to a history of traditional building techniques and many things between.

There will be a meeting on 30th September at 6pm at the pub to outline the programme and discuss future plans and possibilities - please come along if you have ideas and things you would like to help happen!

Got more apples than you know what to do with? Whether they’re fresh from the tree or a little too “rustic” for a pie, bring your apples and turn them into fresh juice (or future cider — we won’t judge)

Today only until 7pm!!!

Bumper crop this year - come down to the farmers and get yourself set up with juice, cider and vinegar for the year!

We were offering an apple press open day on Friday 26th September as well but due to unforeseen circumstances the event will be Thursday 25th only - all the more reason to come on down!

On 25th September the lovely Ilse Pedler, widely published prize winning poet and workshop leader, will be back hosting her popular spoken word open mic evening.

This month she will be joined by guest poet Ina Anderson who is launching her new collection ‘Sky Furniture’. The collection offers childhood memory and magic along with stark observations of our broken world.

Just £5 entry- come along to contribute or just listen! Sign up on the door for the five-minute open mic spots. Experienced writers or newcomers’ welcome whatever your poetry style. The session will run from 6:30-8pm

Ilse has facilitated workshops for many different organisations and is also poet in residence at Sidmouth Folk Festival and co-editor of Bending The Arc, a Substack of thrutopian writing. It’s important to Ilse in facilitating poetry events that they should be inclusive, stimulating and promote a sense of community.

Ilse’s collection of poetry ‘Auscultation’ is also available in our honest shop
