Northern String Quartet

Members of the quartet are frequently invited to collaborate with some of the world’s most respected orchestras, including the BBC Philharmonic, London Symphony Orchestra, and the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic. In addition to their classical credentials, the Northern String Quartet has gained recognition in the Candlelight & Fever String Quartets circuit, where they perform dynamic renditions of modern pop music across the UK. Their diverse portfolio includes high-profile performances at concerts, weddings, corporate events, and as sought-after session musicians in recording studios. The quartet is also a popular choice for supporting strings on UK artist tours, showcasing their adaptability and wide-ranging expertise. Notable recent performances include a prominent appearance at the AO Arena in Manchester for BBC One’s Big Night of Musicals 2025, a National Lottery Funded event, where they performed alongside a full orchestra to great acclaim. With a repertoire that spans both classical and contemporary genres, the Northern String Quartet remains at the forefront of the UK’s vibrant music scene, consistently delivering exceptional performances and contributing to the development of both live and recorded music. Join us for a classical concert by the Northern String Quartet at Threlkeld Village Hall on Thursday 3rd September at 7:30pm. The programme will be included here soon, but it is expected to include all of Vivaldi’s seasons plus some other pieces.

Illustrated Talk: Penrith2Kendal Arc Recovery Project

In May 2024, the Penrith2Kendal Arc project started its two-year development phase, providing staff resource to work up ambitious plans for land management, community engagement, access improvement, monitoring, funding and governance. These plans will be implemented over a 20-year delivery phase, which should commence Early 2027. During this development phase, managed through a partnership with Lowther Farming Partnership and Cumbria Connect , the project team is working with all 30+ farmers and landowners to explore options for large-scale, ambitious nature restoration that will enhance the condition and connectivity of a range of important habitats, including woodlands, wood pasture, rivers and floodplains, hay meadows and peatlands. Planning and consultation will also be carried out to assess whether Water Voles, Black Grouse, Pine Martens and a range of other missing species can be returned to the landscape. Covering more than 16,000 hectares, the Penrith to Kendal Arc project area covers multiple watersheds and habitats and supports a huge array of wildlife. Most of the project lies within the Lake District National Park, arguably England’s most spectacular and iconic landscape. For more information see: https://storymaps.arcgis.com/stories/585a424287624845a2d31f6bd3a3d36f Threlkeld Village Hall, Monday 21st September 2026, 7:30pm. Door and Bar from 7pm.
