A new exhibition of work by Settle-based artist Margaret Uttley focuses on peat moorlands and our relationship with this fragile but important environment.
Her drawings and paintings celebrate the hostile but distinctive beauty of the Yorkshire moorland landscape and will be on show at Gavagan Art, in Settle Town Hall, until July 30.
She uses two Grouse-Butts poems by Ted Hughes as a starting point to explore this dramatic landscape and broader issues relating to the environmental function and use of moorlands.
And she wants the public to respond to her work on more than just an aesthetic level. "I want them to engage with the subject matter, with more of an understanding of the land’s function and humanity’s relationship with it," she says.
The Folly is staging two exhibitions.
The End of an Era: 200 Years of Zion Chapel tells the history of one of the town's landmark buildings  has been curated by Folly volunteer Heather Maufe.
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 for the exhibition, which has been extended until Saturday, July 30.
BRADLEY: The Film Club will show Dirty Dancing in the school hall tonight, at 7pm.
