The Folly!

Built in the late 17th century, the building has been variously a residence, a farm - and even a fish and chip shop!
Now owned and managed by the North Craven Building Preservation Trust (and home to the Museum of North Craven Life) this fascinating building has had a varied history.
Join us online as we discover its past and hear about some of the exciting plans for the future.

Working with Watercourses in the Forest of Bowland
Wednesday 5th April, 7 - 8pm
Did you know that the River Wyre flows entirely within Lancashire?
The source of the river sits in the Bowland fells, where the Marshaw Wyre and the Tarnbrook Wyre are formed. It then flows south through Garstang before turning sharp north west and completing its 28-mile journey at Morecambe Bay.
Find out more abut the Wyre Rivers Trust within the Forest of Bowland and the work they do to improve water quality, create better habitats for wildlife and raise awareness of the issues in the Wyre catchment.
This is your chance to hear about their latest projects, find out about the varied volunteer opportunities available and ask any questions you may have.
