The Tour's HQ



During the festival the head sets and maps for the Tour will be hired out from the bus shelter in the middle of the beautiful Georgian Square. It's an attractive building, made from the local slate and painted a calming blue inside, however it is somewhat defunct as a shelter as the bus stops at the other side of the square and if you were to shelter from the wild Cumbria weather in it, you would need to run across and hope to stop the bus in time. For this reason, we have decided to make use of this sad but inviting building and turn in into the centre of activity during the festival. It already has a great map on the side of it with information about the nature reserves and local walks. From here you can hire out the head sets and maps, talk to the artists and the various members of the community who participated in the project.
