English Heritage does loads of conservation work in the Peak District.

As well as iconic historic buildings like Peveril Castle, it works in partnership with other organisations such as the Peak District National Park Authority to look after a whole range of archaeological sites, monuments and historic landscapes such as Arbor Low. It provides specialist advice to landowners and local authorities about the conservation management of our cultural heritage. It also gives conservation grants too - including a recent one to Calver Weir.

Jon Humble gives the low down on what English Heritage is working on now. His talk and presentation will include the opportunity to ask questions.  

Cost: £5 non members; free Friends of the Peak District members

We are looking for intrepid supporters to take part in a sponsored abseil to raise funds for us.

It costs just £25 to enter, and we ask you to also collect as much sponsorship as you can for Friends of the Peak District.

The bridge is 90 feet high, with wonderful views - so you'll have a great experience, while raising funds for a brilliant cause.

You can choose the time of day you would like to do it, and the abseil is open to anyone aged 12 or over (though under 18s must be accompanied by a parent or guardian).
