"Living on the Fell" ...a story in photographs, 2025
"Living on the Fell" ...a story in photographs, 2025
Our “Living on the Fell” project aims to capture a snapshot of life and the lived experience on Cartmel and Newton Fells at the beginning of the second quarter of this century.
We invite everyone to submit their photographs taken since the beginning of September 2024 that illustrate ANY aspect of “Living on the Fell” at the quarter century, to celebrate this beautiful corner of the Lake District.
With the permission of entrants, we are planning to exhibit the photos at Cartmel fell Parish Hall, LA11 6NH from Friday 24th to Sunday 26th October 2025 and also create a 2026 calendar.
You can help us continue to record what life in our area is like - and together we can maintain the rich photographic history of the area, inspired by the collections of many community members before us.
"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."
Photo Upload deadline:
19th September 2025
We've already had some entries showing the people, wildlife and the beautiful landscapes.
You don't have to have a clever camera - just a smartphone will do.
We're asking for photos taken since September 2024 to give us 12 months of photos for the exhibition and calendar.
We'll print the photos and exhibit them at Cartmel Fell Parish Hall from 23rd 25th October so everyone can enjoy them and the £3 per photo entry helps us to cover the professional printing costs.
We'll also be selecting 12 of the photos entered to go into a calendar that will be on sale at various outlets to raise funds for the Cartmel Fell Volunteers community group, to help us to continue our voluntary work and run more community events. On the entry form, you can give us permission to use your photo in the calendar if it's selected.
