SUMMARY:The Magic of Middle Earth
DESCRIPTION:Monday 17 August to Sunday 27 September\nOpen 10am to 4.30pm \nOn July 4\, 2026\, a magical treasure trove of objects and artworks is coming to Bewdley in an exhibition that is a must-see for fans of fantasy and Middle-earth… \n“In a hole in the ground there lived a Hobbit…” \nWith those famous words\, J.R.R. Tolkien welcomed visitors into Middle-earth\, a seemingly living\, breathing world both mythical and yet familiar. Regarded as the “father” of modern fantasy literature\, Tolkien’s cultural influence has extended far beyond just other authors. Middle-earth has inspired creative minds of all types and acted as a Minecraft-like toolbox for generations of artists\, musicians\, filmmakers\, environmentalists\, and game designers. \nThe Magic of Middle-earth takes visitors on a journey beyond the books to explore that expansive artistic legacy. Discover stunning paintings\, incredible sculptures\, and even Middle-earth themed Lego sets. With family fun and kids’ activities\, this is an exciting exhibition for all ages. Whether you’re a little halfling or a wizened wizard\, you won’t want to miss this one!

SUMMARY:Willow Weaving with Jo – Weave a Swallow – £45
DESCRIPTION:About the workshop\n\n\n\nSaturday 15th August 2026\n\n\n at 10:00 am\n\n\n until 1:00 pm\n\n\n\n\n \n  \nYou’ll be guided in weaving your own swallow from sustainably grown natural willow – they look great hung on a wall\, garden fence or mounted on a pole to swoop around your flower beds. \nThis hands-on workshop is a great introduction to traditional willow weaving techniques and is suitable for complete beginners. \n  \nThe workshop will be taught in a small\, friendly group with a maximum of 10 people\, with all tools and materials supplied. No previous experience is required\, and this workshop uses shorter thin willow for weaving\, making it easier for those with less hand strength. \nWe’ll include a short break for everyone to stretch their fingers\, drinks and biccies will be included! \n\nPlease Note\n\n\nThis course is suitable for adult beginners.\nNo level of experience or ability is required.\nThis workshop is practical by nature\,.\nThis will take place in our ‘Ed Shed’ with its log burner and panoramic views of the orchard and forest. It is advised that participants wear appropriate clothing and sturdy footwear (no open toes). WCLT reserves the right to prevent a participant from taking part in the activity if they are not wearing suitable clothes and footwear.\nIf you book a place on a workshop\, but are then no longer able to attend\, you will not be entitled to a refund. If you would like to transfer your booking to another workshop\, we shall make reasonable efforts (subject to availability) to rearrange the booking\, but shall not provide any guarantee to this effect.\nWCLT reserves the right to cancel a workshop. This will only happen in exceptional circumstances. Those with pre-booked places will be offered a choice of alternative dates.\n\nSt Georges Farm\nTanners Hill\nBewdley\nDY12 2LS \ninfo@wyreclt.org.uk \n+44 1299 488083
