Art - Inspired by Lindow
In 2024 we are celebrating not only 40 years since Lindow Man was discovered, but the start of the restoration of Lindow Moss. As well as an Art Trail on the Moss itself, there are exhibitions of work inspired by Lindow Moss taking place at the Guild for Lifelong Learning. A collaborative art project from local primary schools, featuring work by 750 students, will be on display on the Moss from 14th July.

Please read our Five Golden Rules before you visit the Art Trail to keep you and other visitors safe.
