New Exhibition coming to Wray next month!
Other Everests: One Mountain, Many Worlds, opens on 8 June in the Castle. This free exhibition marks the centenary of the 1924 Mount Everest expedition.

National Trust Cultural Heritage Curator, Harvey Wilkinson, has worked with historian Dr Jonathan Westaway from UCLAN, to tell the almost forgotten story of the Sherpas who worked on the mountain and their contribution to the 1920s expeditions to Everest.

See fascinating archives from the Royal Geographical Society and the Mountain Heritage Trust, with stunning photographs presented in large-format vivid lightboxes and displays of artefacts, including the now famous recreation of George Mallory’s climbing outfit found when his body was finally discovered on Everest in 1999.

Free entry. Car parking charges apply to non-National Trust members.

Remember these books from growing up

Did you know that the first commercial edition of The Tale of Peter Rabbit was published 120 years ago? From the very start, the character of Peter found a life outside the little books, in toys and stationery, and featured in many of Beatrix’s other ‘tales’.

You can see some of these objects and Beatrix’s original artwork at the Beatrix Potter Gallery in Hawkshead. Plan your visit > https://bit.ly/3gpTPWO

I've always said, "if the audience is behind you, you're facing the wrong way."
Last night, 19 gruesome individuals joined The Director for an evening of Cumbrian Ghost Stories.
Under a rather magnificent Super Moon, guests were punished with a veritable feast of tales: Tales of Poltergeists, Phantoms Hounds, Faeries and Demons...
A huge thank you to all whom attended.
We hope you enjoyed it.
