Landing > In the Field
The Landing Project invites you to join us on a series of walks on and around farms in Shropshire and the borderlands of Wales. This will be a great opportunity to learn more about farming activities on site and for us to extend both the conversation and exploration we are making as part of the Landing Project with a growing community.
These inclusive events are open to anyone with an interest in farming and the rural landscape. Each event will take place at a different site with walking and some creative activities devised and led by one or more participants. We will invite host farmers, guest artists/writers, environmental specialists or other practitioners to lead or contribute to the discussions and activities.
If you have ideas for an event or if you would like to lead an event, please get in touch with us via the email address below.
For more information or to book a free place on an event email landingartproject@gmail.com
We research each walk aiming for safe routes and access. However, we must ask that you take responsibility for your own safety when joining these outdoor events.
This page will be updated below to include documentation of the events plus resources and links to further information where appropriate. We would love to see creative responses, mappings or other feedback from anyone who takes part.
