We finally got there!
The finishing touches are being put to the primary schools’ Gilpin 2020+ project. Films have been made; artwork is being finished. We’ll bring you more on the https://gilpin2020.org website.
In the meantime, here’s a song by Dick Brice entitled Song of the River Wye.
About 20 people joined Heather Hurley for a Gilpin inspired River Walk on Wednesday 9th June.
If you’d like to know what they learned you can see Heather’s notes in the download.
A great time was had by all.
We are slowly finding new dates for some of the events that were cancelled in 2020. Don’t miss the two exhibitions taking place in St Mary’s, Ross through July.

In the light of the rapidly changing situation with Coronavirus which has caused the cancellation of other official events in Ross this weekend we have decided to postpone tonight’s event. We will rearrange at some point in the future when it’s safe to do so and will be in touch with everyone who booked tickets with further information.
The team at Made in Ross are looking for volunteers to help steward our exhibition at Goodrich Castle starting on 13th June. If you would like to help or find out more details please contact Eleanor Kercher
