We arrange events and activities to enable people to discover, enjoy and protect the heritage of this beautiful landscape.
Our events are open to all members normally free of charge, and often open to members of the public who are interested in finding out about the area. We actively use Eventbrite, and ask those who wish to attend to register so that we can ensure the correct safeguards are in place.
At present we are allocating the task of events organisation to one Trustee per month, so we can take advantage of our Trustees skills and interests…..we hope you will enjoy the varied events calendar.
Post Covid, we hope to work closely with the AONB Out and About Programme, to add the events we feel will be of interest to our members, more widely on our own Events calendar.
If you have any ideas, or would like us to consider organising something on your wish list, which reflects our aims of sharing the AONB – please contact us and we will endeavour to make it happen.
