Festival of the Beck - Norwell Village
Location: Nottinghamshire

The villages of Norwell, Maplebeck, Caunton, Eakring, and Carlton on Trent all lie along the course of The Beck – a stream in north Nottinghamshire.

The Festival of The Beck aims to link these villages through a series of community events, including guided walks and historical talks along the Beck and additional activities organised by each village.

A performance will be created by each of the villages reflecting the heritage and character of each community. A book will be produced collating and recording historical facts, local stories and anecdotes from all 5 of The Beck Villages and will include maps and local walks.

In Norwell the special community event is Proper Norwell. Three gargoyles in the church come to life and tell the history of the village as it really was.

There are other events taking place in Norwell which are part of the Festival of the Beck. the details are shown on the other events pages.
