Slow Burn explores the environment and the impact of industrial heritage on the land. Local artists Tim Smith, Elizabeth Smith, Luke Thompson, and Rose Wheeler have drawn inspiration from Langcliffe Quarry’s unique landscape, immersing themselves in the site’s rich history and natural surroundings. Their diverse responses though painting, drawing, poetry, and photography capture and celebrate the beauty of Langcliffe Quarry and its historical significance.
Open Thursday to Sunday 11-4pm between 22nd May - 15th June.

Bareathon
Sunday 25th May 2025
10am to 4pm
Participants will be asked to donate on a “Pay as you think” basis. All proceeds from the event will be donated to Yorkshire Cancer Research.
Craven Arts is to host a third Bareathon – a marathon life drawing event – to raise money
for Yorkshire Cancer Research. This time it has special impetus because the life model
behind the iniative has been himself diagnosed with cancer.
People can turn up, draw as long as they wish and contribute as much as they wish without any kind of commitment.
It is an ideal opportunity for participants to sample life drawing without any kind of looking over the shoulder and criticism. A number who have never tried the experience have come along and thoroughly enjoyed it. And for the more experienced it is a chance to practise their skills in a totally relaxed environment.
