Upcoming Events

Blake Morrison and the Hosepipe Band, Saturday September 21st. 7pm in the Dunwich Reading Room

Blake's Shingle Street collaboration with the band celebrated Suffolk landscapes and seascapes. Now he has widened his scope to encompass themes of elation, regret, nostalgia, sensuality and domestic mishap. There's a sense of passing time or ‘timefulness’ – of fading memories, missed chances and the coming of age - but his touch remains light throughout.When we last came to Dunwich, Blake Morrison read poems from his Shingle Street collection. This year’s performance will feature poems from Blake’s new pamphlet Never the right time. Readings will be accompanied by music composed and played by members of the Hosepipe Band.

 

Saturday Sept 28th, Leaf Printing. 11-3pm

October 2021 - Autumn Activities  

We walked through Greyfriars Woods to learn about the variety of plants and wildlife to be found in Dunwich in autumn. We collected leaves, seeds, feathers and chestnuts to make wreaths and other crafts. We also spotted a variety of fungi growing. Thinking about harvest time, we were shown some antique farming tools such as scythes, sickles, pitch forks and seed drills, and had a go at using them ourselves!
