About this Event

Join us at Low Beckside Farm near Penrith on Friday 18th October. We will be hosted by staff from the owners and managers of the farm, Ernest Cook Trust, and will learn more about how they run it as a base for green skills and land based learning. We will also hear more about the Trust's plans for managing the land with nature in mind, and their links with Cumbria Connect operating across the county. If you are interested in apprenticeships for young people, we will hear direct from some of those involved here at Low Beckside.

Free shuttle bus provided from Penrith station @10.30am, the visit will run from 11am until 3pm with a buffet lunch provided, travel bursaries available for young people (age under 30) with grateful thanks to Ernest Cook Trust for financial support. Please conatact [email protected]
