Heathfield Library
Friday 20th September
2 to 3:30pm

Join local author, Tim Cornish, for a fascinating insight into the High Weald during medieval times; from its landscape, to its economy and local people's way of life. Learn more about how unequal society was, from Lords and Archbishops to serfs, freemen and widows - this was a time that contrasted great poverty with great riches.

This event is free but booking is essential. There's no need to be a library member to take part.

Copies of Tim's book 'Medieval Mayfield: Archbishops and Peasants' will be available for purchase on the day for anyone who might wish to buy.

Review of 'Medieval Mayfield: Archbishops and Peasants':

“This is an engaging authoritative and beautifully illustrated book full of original insights.” (Jason Lavender, Co-Director, High Weald National Landscape.)

Ivy can’t wait for it to stop raining so she can go jump in puddles! But when she answers a call for help from a stranded worm she is led on a wild adventure. She sets off to find Mrs Bumpting the toad, meeting mystical mushrooms and all the wild creatures that come out when it's wet. Pursued by a council of crows and a barbershop quartet of singing snails, will Ivy make it home again in time for tea?

After the Rain is a playful and engaging puppet show that takes children into a magical, musical world of discovery.

This show is suitable for children aged 3- 7 years.

For more information and to hear music from the show visit the Sabotage Theatre Website
