* A new exhibition has opened at The Folly, focusing on the town's Zion Chapel.
Called The End of an Era: 200 Years of Zion Chapel, the exhibition has been curated by Folly volunteer Heather Maufe and runs until October 30.
Zion Chapel was built in 1816 into the steep hillside of Upper Settle and was at the heart of community life in the town for the best part of 200 years. Many current Settle residents will have connections with Zion, not only through services, weddings and funerals but also through the astonishing range of all-age activities that flourished over the years.
The chapel closed last year.
The exhibition will run alongside 1916: Chronicles of Courage, part of the Heritage Lottery-funded Craven and the First World War project.
It tells the stories of local men and women who served their country in many different ways during the First World War and includes graphic reconstructions of life on the battlefield through installations of a section of trench and a regimental first-aid post fitted out with medical and surgical equipment of the period.
It too runs until October 30.
* Silk paintings by local artist Christine Carradice are showcased in an exhibition at the Gallery on the Green.
Her paintings never have people in them as she prefers to show familiar scenes at the quiet time before people arrive and the day’s activities begin.
Christine, who has lived in Settle for 20 years, has also created a range of pictures and cards, which feature in the exhibition, which runs until Saturday, July 23.
* The Lime Galley at The Courtyard has launched at new exhibition, Nature Through Art.
It showcases the work of artists David and Sarah Cemmick and includes sculptures, original paintings and lino cuts.
