Valuation Day at Kirkhale

Lancelot ‘Capability’ Brown was probably England’s greatest landscape designer. His life and times will be celebrated in 2016 with a kaleidoscope of events centred round his Northumbrian birthplace at Kirkharle, culminating in a Capability Brown Festival weekend, on August bank holiday.

We will be participating in the 300th birthday celebrations, encouraging people to learn about and enjoy his world famous lakes and landscapes, and increasing the appreciation of his work. Guided walks to St Wilfrid’s Church and round the Lake will be a regular feature of the ongoing celebrations. All events are free, unless marked as a ticket event.
