About
Visit Airdale Library for Canopy – free arts activities for all ages on Saturday 29 November. Drop in anytime between 10am and 12 noon.
Join artist Tony Wade and create artworks inspired by the trees in Airedale and Ferry Fryston.
This workshop is supported by a Wakefield Council Culture Grant.
This project is part of National Tree Week and Wakefield Council’s free tree giveaway, where, with the support of the Woodland Trust, residents can get free trees to plant in their area.
Trees will be available to collect every Sunday from Thornes Park Nursery from Sunday 23 November 2025, 10am-12pm until stocks last. During National Tree Week, they can also be collected from Pontefract Castle, WX- Wakefield Exchange, The Art House, Anglers Country Park and participating council libraries. They are Airedale, Featherstone, Sandal, Horbury, Pontefract, Normanton, South Elmsall and Ossett libraries. Please check the collection times with the venue before going along.
The trees are all native species, which have been chosen to benefit wildlife. These include Hawthorn, Blackthorn, Hornbeam, Hazel, Birch, Rowan, Dogwood and Wild Cherry.
Three trees can be collected per person. No appointment is required to collect trees. Anyone who wants more than three trees should collect from Thornes Park Nursery.
