THE AVEBURY PAPERS – FAE AND FOLK OF AVEBURY: FREE ART AND WRITING EVENT with Lucie Smith

Event Information

Get your creative hats on for this folklore and storytelling drop-in workshop as we imagine the creatures and lost souls of Avebury to create imagined portraits and short stories/poems about their lives and antics, all contained within your very own zig zag book. Suitable for children and adults (minimum recommended age 6 years)

There is no need to book for this drop-in event – just turn up on the day between 11am and 2.45pm (last entry). Places will be allocated on a first come first served basis. If you’d like to let us know you are coming, please book a free ticket below to receive updates.

This event is free, thanks to funding from AHRC for the Avebury Papers Project. There is the option to donate to the gallery below. All donations are gratefully received.

About the Project:

The Avebury Papers is a four-year UKRI funded project to digitise, explore, and share the multimedia archive of Avebury’s Neolithic origins and ongoing investigation. To encourage creative reuse of the archive and inspire new stories, The Avebury Papers Project commissioned two artists, Gayle Chong Kwan and Kialy Tihngang to respond to the wealth of material making up the Avebury Papers, leading to the creation of the artworks Oneiric Archaeologies (Dr Gayle Chong Kwan) and The Bluest Eye (Kialy Tihngang).

Also happening on this date are XR experiences in the gallery. To find out more visit
