Venue: Cartmel Fell Parish Hall
In partnership with PEAT (Peninsula Environmental Action Together) and with the support from 'Cinema for All' we are inviting you to join us for this screening of Wilding (75 minutes) on Thursday 4th December.
Based on the best-selling book written by Isabella Tree, this is the true story of the failing four-hundred-year-old Knepp estate. Isabella and her husband decided to re-wild it using radical methods and reintroduce native species. Their experiment reveals the ability of nature to rebound and offers hope for conserving biodiversity the world over.
Doors will open at 6:30pm for a 7pm start.
A cash bar will be available, profits support future community activities.

October 2025
Our exhibition weekend attracted a steady stream of visitors each day and some great comments.
We showcased contemporary life in and around Cartmel Fell and had "Sounds of the Fell" playing while people browsed over 100 photographs.
Eric Pye chose photos for our 2026 calendar and presented a prize to Helen Caldwell for her winning entry, which will become the cover photograph. Calendars are on sale and you can see all the pictures that have been included on our calendar page.
The "People's Vote" proved to be a hit, too; and the winner will be announced here soon!

"A storybook adventure in School Lot"
At the Cartmel Fell Spring Show we put together Activity sheets with a quiz, a mapped route through the woodland in a 1 mile figure of 8.
We made a 10-stage story about the Parish woodland characters, sights and sounds you experience as you explore the Parish orchard and woodland.
With the help of Elsie, we also explained how to estimate the height of a tree with a stick.

Clare Dyson's film showed her 200 mile journey across Cumbria on her horse Merry. She set off from Cartmel Fell, visiting farmers and ecologists who talk about adapting their work, to prioritise nature and combat climate change whilst they produce food.
We all had a really enjoyable conversation with Clare about her travels and the people she met.

We watched a fascinating film in September about how beneficial regenerative farming is to business as well as the environment.
We had the chance to talk to four regenerative farmers about the changes they have made to their farming methods and the benefits it has brought to their livelihoods.
