 Lucy Pittaway is a multi-award-winning British artist based in Yorkshire, renowned for her vibrant, whimsical pastel artwork. Her style is characterised by its 'naïve' and imaginative quality, often featuring bright colours, lollipop-shaped trees, and her signature 'round sheep' characters. Her work is inspired by her life in Yorkshire, focusing on family, the outdoors and animals (especially sheep, Highland cows, and dogs). Her aim is to create "art that makes you smile," emphasising happiness, hope, and rejuvenation. No wonder she has been named the UK’s Most Popular Selling Published Artist, three times!
A selection of her works will be on display, and for sale, in the Mezzanine Gallery at The Station from 16 January to 10 February. Why not pick up a print or an original to brighten your walls this winter? Read more about Lucy at www.lucypittaway.co.uk

 The panto at Richmond's Georgian Theatre Royal is famous for all kinds of reasons: knitted toys being flung around the auditorium (footnote 1); Tunnock's Teacakes (footnote 2); and fabulously good, traditional, family-friendly pantos on the tiny stage.
This year's pantomime is Cinderella, which runs until 10 January, with matinee and evening performances. There will be amazing song and dance routines, fantastic sets and special effects, huge amounts of laughter, plenty of audience participation, and lots of dreadful jokes and terrible puns. You can bet that every performance will be jam-packed, as always, so if you're planning to take a party do be sure to book right now! Six performances are already sold out. Don't delay! Seats are still available at most performances! Tickets and information are at the Georgian Theatre's website. (1) Knitted toys? Why? Why not! The reason is lost in the mists of history. (2) Tunnock's Teacakes? Whether you love them or loathe them or have no idea what they are, you're likely to find them raining down on you. But why teacakes? Err - tradition?  There's a family fireworks display on Reeth Green at 19:00 on New Year's Eve. A barbecue too! (Cash onl, please.)
There's no admission charge, but a collection will be taken to support future village events. Reeth is a great place to see fireworks, particularly if we're blessed with a clear, black sky.  If you've got far-off friends or relatives who've caught the Yorkshire Dales bug, Richmond Information Centre is here to help!
