Lynx © Berndt Fischer
We’re hosting a Missing Lynx exhibition in the spring and summer, starting on Thursday 11th April, which will tour local venues so that people can find out about this missing mammal and have their say via questionnaires, workshops, interviews and focus groups.
The family-friendly exhibition will tour Northumberland, the edge of Cumbria and the border of southern Scotland during spring and summer 2024. Using interactive displays, we will bring the lynx to life. Visitors can discover how our wild places have changed over the years, how nature has been lost and how it might fare better in the future. The exhibition charts the lynx’s comeback across Europe and how restoring missing species can help nature to recover. The final installation even offers visitors a chance to immerse themselves in a wilder world, standing side by side with this missing mammal, surrounded by bird song.
The exhibition is free – we want everyone to come and enjoy this interactive experience. You can pre-book tickets to guarantee entry, or turn up for selected walk-in slots at each venue.
