Our Mission
UWALS was founded in November 2016 out of a need identified in the community for Arts and Literature events which could be accessed locally - public transport making it difficult to get into Skipton, let alone Leeds or Harrogate. UWALS's mission is to improve access to art and literature within the Upper Wharfedale area by the provision and support of lectures, performances, entertaining talks, workshops and other associated activities related to the Arts and Literature.
We aim to have something in the programme that will appeal to everyone with an interest in arts and literature.
