Festival Bowland 2023 - Pendle Peat & Pie Challenge (CANCELLED)

*Event Cancelled - please contact event organisers for further information *

Join us for a walk to the top of Pendle Hill where Forest of Bowland Peatlands Officer, Dom Hartley, will reveal the fascinating, but often unseen, world of peat restoration.

From coir dams to cotton grass, find out how work on the summit of this iconic hill is helping to slow the flow, restore habitats and store carbon. And as we're sure you'll be hungry after all that hiking, we'll be serving up delicious Pendle Peat Pie – a hearty local dish! - and a well-earned cuppa back at the village hall after the walk.

(Please note that the route to the summit of Pendle Hill is steep and participants will need to be physically fit for this event. Thank you.)
