The 10th Windermere Airshow, organised by the Rotary Club of Windermere, will be held over the weekend of Saturday 24 and Sunday 25 July.  There will be an extensive programme of activities - not just in the air but also on the ground.  More flying displays than ever before are planned - a minimum of 8 per day - and there will be plenty to interest both young and old.  On the ground, organisers are aiming to make this a real family event with a full and varied range of activities particularly aimed at children but with plenty to interest all visitors.

William Morris: A Sense of Place

Saturday 26 June - Sunday 17 October, Blackwell, The Arts & Crafts House, Bowness-on-Windermere

From a young age William Morris developed an unusually strong sense of place, which he retained throughout his life. He felt compelled to create domestic environments within which he could feel at ease, and responded to the wider environment with striking intensity. His sense of place runs like a thread through each of the many facets of his life: design, creative writing, socialism and conservation work, each of which will be explored in the exhibition.
