Saturday 20th September, Saturday 18th October, Saturday 15th November & Saturday 20th December

Join writer and archaeologist Annalie Seaman for a four-part creative writing course rooted in the seasons, exploring the stories we tell in the waning year. We’ll look at themes that connect us to modern, historic and ancient cultures, to celebration and to story itself. Each workshop takes place between 10am-11.45am.

The combined cost for all the workshops is £100, but we understand that it isnt always easy to pay in a lump sum. If you want, you can come along to an individual workshopand pay £25 on the day.

Email jo.seaman@minthousepevensey.co.uk if you want to pay in this way.

Falling (Saturday September 20th)

A crisp and vibrant fall into autumn through the senses, the waning days, the visual splendour, the chill, and the abiding promise of the season, that the way forward is through darkness.

Festivals of the Dead (Saturday October 18th)

Tracing lines of diaspora from the old world to the new world and back to their roots in the ancient world, we’ll be crossing continents in our search for the global culture and archaeology of festivals of the dead.

Genius Loci (Saturday November 15th)

Ever elusive and almost tangible, we’ll be seeking the genius loci of the old Tudor house. How does history hang in the walls, in the shadow of the castle, on the border of the marsh?

Starlight (Saturday December 20th)

A mythological dive into the starry skies as we follow ancient stories through the constellations and back through time to the cultures who created gods and legends so enduring were still telling them.

Tickets for the four workshops cost £100 and can be booked via Eventbrite on this link:

Wilde Volk - Celebrating Europe’s Monstrous Midwinter Traditions

Join Suzanne Rolfe, Melita Dennet and Kerry Boettcher for an evening of stories from Europe’s masked winter festivals.

For over 8 years the group have ventured deep into the more esoteric corners of Europe’s masked festivals - from the devilish Krampus parades and primordial Kramperl/Buttnmandl of Germany to the Perchten of Austria.

Through photography, writing and field recordings, they have captured these strange and curious rites also showcased for the evening in an engaging exhibition.

Join them for an evening of talks, photographs and film as they delve into the historical origins of these rituals and explore how they evolved.

Saturday 20th December 7-9pm

Tickets £8 from Eventbrite https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/wilde-volk-celebrating-europes-monstrous-midwinter-traditions-tickets-1975310806797?aff=oddtdtcreator
