A new exhibition by local photographer John Bentley at the Gallery on the Green in Settle, the former telephone box, believed to be the world’s smallest art gallery. The photographs in the new exhibition document the sheep farming year in the uplands of Yorkshire and Cumbria. Organisers are inviting local people to call in as part of their one visit out of the house for exercise purposes with the exhibition running until March 12th.

The Courtyard Dairy in Austwick has a job available for a part-time general assistant to work 2-3 days per week. The job is physical and involves packing mail order boxes, with the opportunity to progress to cheese mongering and other roles. On the job training is given, including visits to cheese makers and cheese-training sessions - so a love of food and cheese is essential. The hours are 7.30 to 4.30, Mon to Thu.

With Covid restrictions being lifted in the coming weeks and months it’s good news for many events like the Skipton horse trials as it looks as though they could happen this coming in July and August at Funkirk Farm in Carleton. The farm is waiting for the protocols to come out about spectators being able to attend, so until then they are getting things ready - as they are looking for volunteers for the event.
