Milton Hide: Your Stories in Song - Battle Library

During 2024 Milton Hide will be organising events across the Wealden area for people to share their stories, be they personal recollections, tales of local people, family history or legends associated with places.

In true folk tradition, Milton Hide will be writing and performing songs inspired by the stories gathered and will be inviting audiences to participate.

The aim is to encourage social engagement across the generations, especially for those feeling isolated and to help ensure your stories don’t disappear into the momentary ether of ‘social media’.

Battle Festival at Battle Library - Thomas Taylor: Eerie on Sea mysteries

Battle Library, Saturday 27 July

Battle Library has partnered with the Battle Festival of Music and Art.
Meet Roald Dahl Funny Prize winner Philip Ardagh and Eyrie-on-Sea author Thomas Taylor.
Session details:

Saturday 27 July 2024

2 to 3pm

Meet the Author: Thomas Taylor: Eerie on Sea mysteries

Come and meet local author and illustrator, Thomas Taylor and explore the world of Eerie-on-Sea.

When Thomas first moved to the seaside, he quickly discovered that coastal towns have a strange character of their own in the winter months. When the ice cream kiosks are closed and the bucket-and-spade tourists are gone, darkness and the weather claim the town. Only people with a good reason (or a very bad one) go down onto the beach then, while on windy days you can barely walk upright. At other times sea mist creeps into the streets, full of hidden things that seem to peer in at you through your windows as you stoke up the fire.

Exploring these ideas in his imagination, it didn’t take long for the fictional town of Eerieon-Sea to begin to grow. If you haven’t visited Eerie-on-Sea before, this is your chance to discover a little bit about Herbert Lemon, lost-and-founder at the Grand Nautilus Hotel, and his brilliant friend Violet Parma, along with the legend of the Malamander and more. Thomas might also tell you about his very special link to Harry Potter

Suitable for children aged 9 12 years old.

£3 per child, adults free. All children must be supervised at all times. #kidsevent beancat
