Beatrix Potter Awards - nominations open
This year, we’ve been celebrating the 150th anniversary of the birth of Beatrix Potter, the world famous author, illustrator, farmer and supporter of The National Trust. To bring the year to an exciting and fitting close, we’re thrilled to be launching the first ever National Trust Beatrix Potter Awards. This new awards scheme will celebrate different aspects of Beatrix’s work and interests by recognising by the lives and activities of people today, and how she has inspired them – either directly, or subliminally through their love of things that were important to her. There are various categories, and for this inaugural year, available to people and businesses living and working within Cumbria. The awards have now closed and you can see the list of winners and runners-up below.
