Forest of Bowland's 60th anniversary

Originally designated in 1964, the Forest of Bowland celebrates 60 years in 2024 and starts the New Year with a new name – Forest of Bowland National Landscape. To mark the anniversary of this very special area, Clitheroe Castle Museum will host the launch of a brand-new photography exhibition in February.

Entries for the exhibition have been chosen from images submitted to the National Landscape Partnership’s recent Diamonds in the Landscape competition.

From far-reaching moorland vistas and stunning wildlife shots to majestic woodlands and atmospheric pastoral scenes, the talented photographers have perfectly captured the variety and beauty of the Bowland landscape.

The exhibition will run from 9th February until the 28th April, before going on to tour selected venues across Bowland during 2024.

February will also see the return of the annual Bowland Dark Skies Festival from 10th to 17th. Stargazing, photography tips, family crafts – even a dark-skies inspired food tour – are all on the menu this year. And don’t worry if you miss the main event: there’ll be more opportunities to explore Bowland’s starscapes in autumn as part of the wider Festival Bowland 2024 programme.
