We’re facing challenges that require creative solutions at a global\, national and local level. It feels like a tipping point\, but also an opportunity to reflect\, regroup and recalibrate our approach. \nWe believe that big ideas can come from anywhere. Our small market town has inspired artists\, writers\, philosophers and activists through the ages – including John Ruskin\, JMW Turner\, Margaret Llewelyn Davies (campaigner for women’s suffrage) and the Brontë sisters. \nWe’d like to see Kirkby Lonsdale celebrated for more than its abundant natural beauty and we’re excited to see what fresh ideas we can inspire and explore! Join us for a series of events – a mixture of performances\, workshops\, experiences\, conversations\, panel discussions\, films and installations – held in a variety of venues across town.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner el_class=”page-illuminate-header-image” width=”1/2″ css=”.vc_custom_1763219280026{background-position: center !important;background-repeat: no-repeat !important;background-size: cover !important;}”][vc_single_image image=”4984″ img_size=”full” css=””][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row el_class=”page-illuminate-experience-header”][vc_column][vc_custom_heading text=”Events + Experiences” font_container=”tag:h3|text_align:left” css=””][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row el_class=”page-illuminate-experience”][vc_column width=”1/2″ el_class=”page-illuminate-experience-text”][vc_column_text css=””] \nPerformance\nOne of the themes of Illuminate is ‘The Creative Response’. We’ve scheduled a series of theatrical and musical performances to delight and inspire! \nWorkshop\nWith a focus on inspiring creativity\, promoting wellness and delivering inspiration\, our workshops are designed to spark fresh interests—or rekindle old ones. \nConversations\nHow can we best navigate a world in flux? Join us for a series of thought-provoking talks about our spaces\, places\, challenges and experiences. \nFilm\nOur theme is ‘Made in Britain’. Through a short\, curated film series\, we’ll explore different aspects of what it means to be British in our increasingly diverse society. \nFamily\nIlluminate promises a fortnight of fun for all the
