River Walk with Heather Hurley

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.
