Music and Remembrance at Rural Arts
Katie Spencer on 5 November, an Armistice Day film and poppy making on 11 November, a tote-bag printing evening on the 20th and David Ford on the 27th, at the Old Courthouse
Rural Arts runs a monthly music night at the Old Courthouse on Westgate, five minutes from the square. In November it is Katie Spencer, a singer and guitarist, on Thursday 5 at 7.30pm, the night of Bonfire Night, if you would rather a gig than fireworks.
On Wednesday 11 November, Armistice Day, the Courthouse shows the film Our Freedom in the afternoon and follows it with a workshop making poppies. Both are booked through Rural Arts.
Later in the month there is a tote-bag printing evening on Friday 20 November, and David Ford plays his songbook evening on Friday 27 November, the night the Christmas lights are due to go on.
