GALLERY ON THE GREEN
There is still time to visit the The Christmas Exhibition at the Gallery on the Green. The exhibition has already been featured in the Yorkshire post as one of the best places to view Christmas Art and runs until 14 January. This year’s installation has been provided by Settle Flagmakers, under the guidance of Jeanne Carr and features a winter wonderland with penguins sliding down a waterfall and generally having fun in a wintry landscape. The display includes a small supply of chocolate money – this time at the bottom of the waterfall, with visitors invited to take a coin. And if previous years are anything to go by, generous adult visitors will add to the supply during the month that the exhibition is on display.
