Come
and meet Boggarts, haunted Hares and talking Cats and be immersed in windswept
moorland, snow capped hills and icy becks.
The Whitaker is proud to announce the inaugural
exhibition of the King of the Cats, a touring exhibition, funded by the Arts
Council, of text, sound, ceramics, sculpture, painting, painted objects and
