Film festival showcases 'beautiful' restored bogs

The Bog Film Festival aims to highlight why the restored habitats are so special

A county's first film festival to celebrate the unique habitats of restored bogs will be held this summer.

The Bog Film Festival which takes place at Gosling Sike, in Carlisle, will feature a series of short films showing the "beauty and brilliance" of the "vital habitats".

Cumbria Wildlife Trust said there would also be question and answer sessions at the event on 10 July.

A trust spokesperson said "peatland protectors and fen fanatics" were welcome to learn about its restoration work.

"There will be short films about these vital habitats, showing their beauty and brilliance," the spokesperson said.

"It's a fantastic opportunity to learn more about them and the work people are doing to protect them."
