An evening with the creator of our latest special exhibition, textile artist Liz Brooke-Ward
The romances of Robin Hood give us one version of the Forest, but the reality is even more intriguing. This talk is a tour through medieval greenwood, with its laws, landscapes, buildings, people and works of art. It is also a guide to what still remains to be seen. Tim is an itinerant lecturer, who has worked in theatre and adult education and is renowned for bringing the medieval world to life. He has given hugely entertaining talks at Nature in Art in the past.
Event includes finger buffet.
PLEASE BOOK YOUR TICKET IN ADVANCE.
