The award-winning Forty Farms photography exhibition can be seen as never before from later this month.
Photographer Amy Bateman captured agricultural life across Cumbria in her project, which has been exhibited and turned into a book.
Now people will have the chance to see her images in a unique setting – as they are being installed outdoors, along a two-mile farm and woodland walk at Low Sizergh Barn, on the outskirts of Kendal.
The free exhibition opens on November 18 and runs until April next year and has been organised in association with H&H Group.
The Forty Farms Photographic Exhibition in Association with H&H features the remarkable work of the British Life Photographer of the Year, documenting her journey to record the stories and images of Forty Farms in Cumbria.
The large format images displayed along the Low Sizergh Barn trail capture the dedication and passion of the farming families continuing the traditions of Herdwick sheep grazing in the Lake District uplands, or forging new futures for farming with cutting edge innovation in world class cheesemaking.
Amy said: “I am thrilled to be working with H&H group to bring this exhibition alive at Low Sizergh.
“It’s been a dream to keep telling these farming stories to more people and this way we can reach a brand-new audience. I’m hoping to tour with this outdoor exhibition, now we have H&H as a partner that looks more likely.”
H&H Group chief executive Richard Rankin said: “Farmers are at the very heart of the Cumbrian and Lakeland landscapes and it is their work which has moulded and forged these landscapes for generations.
“They provide so much, including food for our tables, accommodation for our visitors and, importantly, they provide care for the Cumbrian environment we all love.
“Some of the 40 farmers featured are our customers and it is a privilege to be able to highlight their work through this farm-based outdoor exhibition of Amy’s wonderful images.”
Forty Farms Photographic Exhibition in association with H&H at Low Sizergh Barn will be open daily from November 18 until April, 9am to 5.30pm, every day except Christmas Day, Boxing Day and New Year’s Day.
