The work to restore the Cylinders Estate is ongoing. Dangerous and diseased trees were removed by local tree surgeon Joe Leaper. In mid-‘März’, a team from Factum Foundation will commence initial restoration work on the Shippon, an old blacksmith’s forge, so that it can provide accomodation for the next phases of the work.

At the same time, Grizedale Arts will be supervising a team of gardening volunteers on the estate; there was a huge response to their call out in December 2024, with other sessions planned throughout 2025.
