Below are details of forthcoming events for April – May 2012 at Timespan in Helmsdale.

Wolf Walk
Saturday 28th April
Timespan are holding a walk and talk up Glen Loth to complement the beautiful, newly commissioned film ‘Wolf’ by Dalziel + Scullion, now showing in Timespan’s gallery.

Please either gather at Timespan at 10.30am for 10.45am departure or meet at first bridge (from A9) in Glen Loth at 11am. Bring camera, sketch book, paints, picnic and boots!

They will have an artist with us to help bring this thought provoking landscape alive and the more energetic of us can walk over the ridge into Glen Sletdale in search of the Last Wolf’s lair!
