Alongside Keevil’s work\, photographers Molly Matcham and Charlotte Graham offer their own unique perspectives\, each capturing the character of the local landscape and its communities through a deeply personal lens. \nFrom intimate portraits to evocative scenes of rural life\, Community Unearthed reveals the richness and diversity of this corner of Cumbria. The exhibition invites visitors to look closer — to see familiar surroundings anew\, and to reflect on the connections between people\, place\, and shared history. \nAlongside the main exhibition\, we are delighted to feature a special photography project by pupils from Lanercost C of E Primary School. Drawing on archival photographs and local history\, the project offers a younger generation’s perspective on the area\, connecting past and present through thoughtful and creative responses to the landscape they call home. \nThe exhibition opens at 5.30pm on Friday 19 June and runs until 5.00pm on Saturday 28 June. \nThroughout the week\, a welcoming café will be open in Dacre Hall\, with refreshments provided by Echo Eats Pop-Up\, creating a relaxed space for visitors to pause\, reflect\, and enjoy the exhibition. \nSet within the heart of the village\, this exhibition is both a celebration of local talent and a thoughtful exploration of community identity. Whether you live locally or are visiting for the festival\, Community Unearthed offers a meaningful and visually engaging experience at the centre of Echo Festival 2026.

No food/bar available. \nToilets will be open at Dacre Hall. \nTickets – https://www.trybooking.com/uk/GMQV \nhttps://victoriamacarte.com/ \nOriginally from Cumbria and from a dance background\, after training in theatre\, ballet and contemporary dance in some of London’s most prestigious schools\, Victoria went on to study Butoh with a Japanese master and has been based in Catalonia since 2004. Emerging from Barcelona’s underground electronic music and digital arts scene\, after a short but intense period in New York\, she moved to Cadaqués to make her home alongside surrealism and the elements. From this base\, her work immersed itself in the natural environment\, deepened into improvisation and expanded across collaborations in music\, performance\, spoken word\, video and cinema; defined by an aesthetic rather than a medium or discipline. \nhttps://elfasounds.bandcamp.com/music \n  URL:https://echoeventslanercost.co.uk/event/e-l-f-a-f-o-l-k-t-r-o-n-i-c-a/ LOCATION:Abbey Farmhouse Lanercost\, Abbey Farmhouse\, Lanercost\, Carlisle\, Cumbria\, CA82HL\, United Kingdom CATEGORIES:Art,Dance,Music,singing,Theatre ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://echoeventslanercost.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/C2F2E900-FD1A-4092-86A4-79B69626CF84.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=UTC:20260625T130000 DTEND;TZID=UTC:20260625T160000 DTSTAMP:20260609T040507 CREATED:20260428T074509Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260604T103611Z UID:848-1782392400-1782403200@echoeventslanercost.co.uk SUMMARY:Cyanotype Workshop DESCRIPTION:Cyanotype Workshop with Thomas KeevilLanercost – exact location/venue to be confirmed. 1pm – 4pm£30 (includes all materials) \nJoin local photographer Thomas Keevil for a relaxed and creative afternoon exploring the beautiful art of cyanotype printing. \nCyanotype is an early photographic process that uses sunlight to create striking blue-and-white prints.
