Based this month at Wordsworth Grasmere, Tom Speight discovers how the museum and attractions there have been recently developed to really bring William and Dorothy’s story alive – and discovers the joys of finding poetry in coffee cups.
Curators Jeff Cowton and Melissa Mitchell take Tom on a tour of Dove Cottage, the newly developed museum and café, and finish up with a section of Wordsworth’s “To A Butterfly” poem in the garden.
There’s also a chance to get behind the scenes at Eskfest, one of Cumbria’s micro-festivals, and Tom hears what gets Ulverston creative Chris Dennett’s artistic juices flowing.
There’s also a visit to High on Hope, the new exhibition at Cross Lane Projects in Kendal – and news of some targeted training coming up for Cumbria’s freelance community.
