CHARITY EVENT: An Audience with Alan Yentob and Caryn Mandabach (Peaky Blinders)

Messums Wiltshire

Join Caryn Mandabach (producer of PEAKY BLINDERS) and Alan Yentob in a conversation celebrating the power of storytelling at Messums Wiltshire, in aid of the KHULA Education.

This year KHULA Education, supported by the David Rattray Foundation, are launching a new programme in KwaZulu-Natal which will encourage the older school children to tell their own stories orally. It will be a way for them to improve their confidence, their presentation skills and hopefully, over time, be a way to bring in revenue to the community through tourism.

£50.00

ONLINE TALK: Nests with Susan Ogilvy

Online

Susan Ogilvy started painting bird nests almost by accident. One day, while tidying up her garden after a storm, she found a chaffinch nest – a strange, sodden lump on the grass under a fir tree. She carried it inside and placed it on a newspaper; over the next few hours, as the water drained out of it, the sodden lump blossomed into a mossy jewel. She was amazed, and dropped everything to make a painting of the nest at exact life size.
