  • Midsummer Festival: Wyl Menmuir

    Pickering Book Tree 43a Market Place, Pickering

    From the lonely heights of mountains to the womblike depths of caves, from sacred monuments and pilgrimage sites, to art made by our Neolithic ancestors and today's sculptors, stone has always drawn us in. In The Spirit of Stone, Wyl Menmuir brings together social history, folklore and encounters with the landscapes to explore the many ways in which rock and earth ground us and form part of our identities, histories and futures.
