SKIPTON: The newly-reopened Craven Museum and Gallery is staging an exhibition about the Magna Carta.

Visitors will be able to see a replica of the Magna Carta, which was given to Skipton as part of the 800th anniversary of its creation.

The display has been put together by the Skipton Magna Carta Working Group, which has been working hard to mark the 800th anniversary in Skipton.

In addition, a contemporary art exhibition titled The Forest of Possibility will be unveiled today and will run until June 30. It is the third in the Art Unpacked series of touring art exhibitions created by Gargrave-based Chrysalis Art.

The exhibition features seven artists: James Aldridge, Claire Brewster, Andrea Mastrovito, Charlotte McGowan-Griffin, Davy and Kristin McGuire, Clare Skill and Justine Smith.

Using paper, the artists bring to life stories from the forest, ranging from the mysteries of fairytales to its sinister shadows.

In tandem with the exhibitions, family crafts will be on offer this Saturday from 10.30am and 12.30pm.

It starts at 8pm and tickets are available from 01729 825718.

lVisitors to The Museum of North Craven Life have the choice of two exhibitions.

Community Skills tells the story of the potteries in Burton-in-Lonsdale, which were fired up in the mid 18th century and showcases around 60 pots from the museum’s collection – the largest in Yorkshire.

The second exhibition, Reality Hits Home, focuses on the First World War and contrasts the frontline experiences of the volunteers with life at home where people were fearful for the first time of enemy attack from the skies.
