Here is how you can delve into Bowland’s heritage this spring. THROUGH the Festival Bowland online events programme the Forest of Bowland AONB and Pendle Hill Landscape Partnership will be shining a light on two very different aspects of the area’s history this spring. On Tuesday, March 23, Burnley-based Mid Pennine Arts will be inviting people to “meet the Radicals”. The event will introduce some of the nonconformists, reformers and change makers researched by the volunteers of the Pendle Radicals project. During the early evening session viewers will encounter the first Quaker, plus a Higham boy who became a beacon of the Enlightenment, the pioneers of the Independent Labour Party and campaigners for women’s suffrage and for the right to roam.
