SKIPTON: Craven Museum and Gallery's latest exhibition celebrates 200 years of the Leeds Liverpool Canal.
It features film, photographs, oral history tapes, stories and other items.
The museum - which is based in Skipton Town Hall - is asking anyone with photographs, objects, stories or memories of the canal to contact them, via email at museum@cravendc.gov.uk or call 01756 706407.
* Soul in the Dales returns to the Black Horse next Saturday, May 21.
DJs, headed by Skipton's Keith Fletcher, will play Northern Soul, Motown and 60s soul from 8pm to 1am.
Admission is £5 on the door.
SETTLE: The current exhibition at the town's Gallery on the Green, Art and the World of Cycling, has been inspired by the forthcoming Tour de Yorkshire.
It has more than 100 exhibits, including rarely seen illustrations by J Ayton Symington for HG Wells' comic novel, The Wheels of Chance, which was published 120 years ago.
There are postcards showing the changing design of the bicycle and others highlighting how artists and especially advertisers have used the bike over the years. There are also classic posters from around the world in the artistic styles of the 1920s.
The exhibition - which is supported by Settle Town Council - runs until next Friday, May 20.
* The Folly is staging two hugely contrasting exhibitions.
1916: Chronicles of Courage is the third in the museum’s series of World War One exhibitions, in association with 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 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.
The second exhibition, Back in Settle, has been inspired by a Facebook group set up around three years ago by local man Mick Harrison to share stories and old photographs from the Settle area. There are now almost 1,600 people involved from all over the world.
The war exhibition runs until October 30 and Back in Settle until June 5.
* An exhibition of new work by renowned ceramic artist Anna Lambert is being staged at Gavagan Art in Settle Town Hall.
Her distinctive earthenware reflects a connection with her locality, North Yorkshire, and to its fragile and constantly changing environment. She responds to places as diverse as wild, bleak moorland and bird-filled hedgerows.
Anna shares her Cross Hills studio with painter David Thomas, who will also be showing his work at Gavagan Art alongside new work by abstract landscape painter Jacquie Denby, who is based in Grassington. ”
The exhibition runs until Saturday, May 30.
* Settle Music will hold another guitar session tomorrow.
It will take place at the primary school at 7pm and admission is £5. All abilities are welcome.
* The Three Peaks Folk Club will hold its next club night at Settle Social Club next Saturday, May 21.
There will be a range of floor singers and musicians from 9pm.
