LANDSCAPE charity Friends of the Lake District is celebrating it's 85th year.

To mark the milestone the charity are commissioning a short film, 'In Our Hands', which will be screened at the Rheged Centre, Penrith later this month.

The short film will feature the poetry of Harriet Fraser and footage of the Lake District.

Douglas Chalmers, Chief Executive of Friends of the Lake District said: β€œ'In Our Hands' is a highly visual celebration of the vital connections between people and place.

β€œIt is a beautifully illustrated, thought-provoking work, forward looking to the future for our children and recognises that Friends of the Lake District will always have, on behalf of this much-loved landscape, the dedication to keep asking, are we on the right road?”.
