This year we have linked For the Love of Books to summer activities in New Mills, Gamesley and Buxton libraries and run our usual story telling with Creeping Toad for Buxton Festival. We have also taken the Yurt to Whaley Water Weekend, with Vince Canning and Katy McCall putting on a pedal-powered paint workshop, and to the One World Festival in New Mills with a renewable energy art installation created during the day. Katy McCall ran the annual art workshop for the Chernobyl Children’s Project, and Mags Whiting said
“thankyou for arranging the art session for our Belarussian children. Katy had planned it so well, they soon got stuck in and had a great time!”
Finally, we hosted an Open Day at High Lee Hall for New Mills Festival.
