2026 CALENDAR
Thank you to everyone who entered their image or images for the exhibition and consideration for the calendar.
We received approximately 130 entries - and despite applying the entrance criteria strictly, we were left with 116 great images for our exhibition reflecting “life and the lived experience” since September 2024.
Images of tremendous beauty rub shoulders with illustrations of everyday work, leisure and frustrations. The wonderful landscape of Cartmel Fell is clearly a fertile source of inspiration.
The following are the photographs that were selected by our guest judge and professional photographer, Eric Pye - and he also selected a favourite image from these which now takes pride of place on the front cover.
Congratulations to everyone that has had a photograph selected for the calendar and congratulations to our 2026 calendar winner, Helen Caldwell.
The calendar will be on sale for £10 at the exhibition and other local outlets to raise funds for the Cartmel Fell Volunteers community group, which will help us to continue our voluntary work and run more community events in the future.
You can pre-order your calendar via our payment website, which will help us to ensure we order enough calendars for everyone.

"Life on the southern fells of the Lake District has changed dramatically in the last 100 years. The population has ebbed and flowed, whilst agricultural practice has evolved to meet the needs and desires of the nation. Forests and Damson orchards have come and gone or lie quietly as nature reclaims them for her own. Threats have erupted and receded. Over the years the changes have been captured in photographs both formally and increasingly informally, as we enter the second quarter of the first century of our third recorded millennium."
