A cult 70’s sci-fi novel set in a post-apocalyptic East Kent is used to bring together hoddening, puppetry, foraging and primitive music. This unique event is part of an exploration of the possibility of a stage adaptation of Russell Hoban's novel, Riddley Walker. The theatre maker Greg McClaren is collaborating with a community of artists to create a daytime walk (more details of this announced on social media) and an evening event.

We can't tell you anymore because we don't know what this one will it be until it happens! It may involve reimagining culture after a collapse and it will involve Sarah Trillo (artist), Kristin Fredricksson (puppetry, movement), Kat Peddie (text), Thomas Gavriel (Seadog books), Billie M Vigne (artist, metalsmith), Miles Irving (forager), Tim Fletcher (hoodener, archivist).

Doors for this event open at 7pm. Music begins at 8pm. A wide range of refreshment are available throughout the evening from the cafe.
