It is difficult to imagine a more inspiring place for artists. Our medieval village boasts a wonderful collection of old buildings, a magnificent Norman archway leading into a picture book village square, and the famous twelfth century Priory.
It is not surprising then that an Art Society was founded here in Cartmel in 1966 and continues to thrive today.
This year’s exhibition will be held on 12-14th August at Cartmel Village Hall between 10.00 and 16.00.
Please go to www.cartmelartsociety.co.uk for more details.

The concert will be held in the Priory by Old London Singers.
Old London Singers was formed in 2008 to explore the superb music of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries written for small groups of singers by British composers. These pieces often have just one or two voices on each line, and are frequently unaccompanied; they range from madrigals (the pop songs of their day) to some of the most beautiful sacred music ever composed. This concert includes some of the finest pieces from this period, set in a context of more recent pieces from the British choral tradition.
Many of the group are members of the New London Singers, one of London’s most exciting chamber choirs, who perform regularly in London venues and have sung evensong in St Paul’s Cathedral, Southwark Cathedral and Westminster Abbey, as well as touring to Jersey, Paris, Poznan, Seville and most recently Cambridge. Old London Singers first sang at Cartmel Priory in 2017 and are delighted to be returning.
Tickets will be £10 on the door with a complimentary glass of wine at the interval.
