Levens Playing Fields fundraising efforts are off to a £73,000+ flying start
In May, an incredible £600 was raised for the Levens Playing Fields courts revamp project by Levens Arts and Film Society at a concert. This comes on the back of news unveiled on 15th May 2024 that an incredible £20,000 grant from the National Lottery Community Fund towards the renovation of their tarmac courts has been received.
Learning to Fly by James Rowland: Review
I had the chance to watch the production ‘Learning to Fly’ at the Levens Village Institute on Friday night, organised by the Levens Arts and Film Society (LAFS) in partnership with Highlights North, who organise and fund tours of various arts programmes and shows in rural areas, taking their shows to small villages around Cumbria, Northumberland and County Durham. You can read more about who they are and their programmes here and keep up with LAFS here.
