Florence Arts Centre are facilitating some guided Artful Ways walks, they’re a great chance to explore the town and countryside around Florence in the west of Cumbria – here’s what they said about them:

“Let’s go for a walk! Everyone is welcome.

Come and join in the wonderful #artfulwayscumbria project at Florence Arts Centre. It couldn’t be easier: take a walk from Florence, map it with the simple GPS tracker (we can help you get started), and use your creative inspiration to create an artwork of any sort you like. We’re working with @somewhere_now.here to map creativity across Cumbria and you can be part of it.

We’ve got family packs of art materials so you can get scribbling as soon as you’re back, or you can take a template home and let rip on a more elaborate creation. Explore the town or saunter through the countryside… west Cumbria is your oyster!

Did we mention all the gorgeous new #fairtrade snacks and hot drinks we stock to keep you fuelled up too?

See you 11-4 Wednesday-Sunday.”

The walks will take place on Wednesdays to Sundays (11am until 4pm) from 14th-25th July. Please contact florence@florenceartscentre.com if you’d like more information.
