SUMMARY:Motanka Doll Making Workshop
DESCRIPTION:The Motanka Doll is a charming family amulet that has been decorating Ukrainian homes for more than 5000 years. It symbolises tradition and is believed to provide protection to the home. \nIn this 3 hour workshop you will learn how to make one… and take it home. The class is suitable for all. No sewing or stitching is required. All materials are provided. \nWe want this workshop to be accessible to all\, especially Ukrainians who have been displaced to the UK because of the war\, so we are pricing this workshop at just £5 to cover the cost of materials. However\, we believe that this workshop is worth much more than that.   So\, if you can\, we suggest an additional donation of £10 should be given on the day to the workshop leader.

Those first authors were writing in the dawn light of the Industrial Revolution\, a time of infinite possibilities and infinite change. As time went on their fiction became not only speculation but inspiration\, and warnings\, to future generations.

SUMMARY:Folk Talks - Jack in the Green
DESCRIPTION:JACK IN THE GREEN The Revival of an Old May Day Tradition In 2015 an attempt was made to revive one of England’s oldest folk customs. Some say The Jack in the Green dates back to pagan times\, no-one knows for sure. What is certain was that this colourful custom accompanied by a parade of extravagantly dressed chimney sweeps was alive and flourishing in England in the 18th\, 19th and early 20th centuries. Through video and song we follow the story of this audacious attempt to bring this peculiar British custom back to the streets of Gloucestershire whilst learning about other strange English customs that continue to this very day.
