What's on in Pathhead

Fife, Scotland

Pathhead sits quietly in Fife, a place where the air feels a bit more still than in the big cities. The Enid Hutt Gallery keeps the creative pulse going with exhibitions that make you pause and have a think about them. It is not far to walk to the village shop for a coffee while you decide what to see next. Local groups often gather for talks or displays that bring neighbours together without needing a shouty promoter. You can find out about these things on our site so you do not waste time hunting down flyers in the postbox. It is a proper community right here, and we make sure you know what is happening before the weekend ends.

Human impact on the planet, and the potentially devastating threat of climate change, have stressed that adaptability as never before. Yet life still finds a way. Animals, plants and insects rise to the challenge and are still adapting, reproducing and thriving, even in our rapidly transforming environment. In their example we may just find ways that we too can adapt, ways to stop the destruction we’re causing to the planet.In Nature’s Genius David Farrier takes us on a profound journey into this ever-changing natural world. What we discover could transform us.
