From Hill Top to Haystacks exhibition
This exhibition interprets the art of both Beatrix Potter and Alfred Wainwright in relief. The pictures have been remodelled in this new format by Colin Antwis of Fieldsman Trails. It adds another visual dimension to these iconic images. For blind people, it is a tactile guide around the Peter Rabbit characters, the fell tops, crags and gullies. Runs until 13 August.
