Being Human, latest exhibition by Peter Walker to open this month.

A new exhibition, which is made up of four installations by acclaimed sculptor and artist, Peter Walker, is set to be unveiled later this month. ‘Being Human’ launches on 27 July and runs until 30 August. The exhibition is free to attend during our visitor opening hours.

As there is no tour offered  this will be a self guided event,  do try to visit in your own time.

Lytham – August 17th

We hope to visit  the beautiful Byzantine church, Lytham Fairhaven U.R.C, in the morning.

We are to have a tour of Lytham Hall after lunch at the nice café on site  and a roam around the grounds to view the posters which are rather large and outdoors.

Shifting Sands, by Nicky Thomson, is an art trail set within the grounds of Lytham Hall. It’s a collection of 12  new works celebrating the art of the travel poster, which has strong historical links to the Fylde – the coming of the railway heralded the start of tourism for the Fylde.

Coach from Maghull Square 9.30 am.  Cost £27
