In Conversation with Sara Hannant Wednesday 6 May | Bar open 6.30pm | Event starts at 7.30pm | £5 Photographer Sara Hannant joins local history guide and speaker, Joe Studman to talk about her latest exhibition ‘Numinous’ and the inspiration behind the work. Discussion will explore folklore and spirituality and promises to be an entertaining and lively look at the latest exhibition, and Q & A.
Numinous Wed 8 April – Sun 19 July Sara Hannant’s photography is inspired by the tradition of offering votive rags at the Holy Wells of Cornwall. Wells have long been regarded as sacred places and there remains a firm belief that wishing at wells can magically transform events. Pieces of fabric or ribbons from clothing, sometimes called a ‘cloutie’, are tied to trees. As the clouties fall and re-enter the earth so your wishes are fulfilled. Some clouties do not bio-degrade. Sara's work investigates materials to create abstract images that combine ritual with metaphors of spiritual transformation.

Some prominent writers and musicians shared a culture of more or less discrete Roman Catholicism, which shaped theatrical traditions and music in ways which have only recently been appreciated. The Lovekyn Consort are Patricia Hammond (Alto), William Summers (Renaissance Flute, Recorder) and Stephen Carpenter (Lute, Renaissance Guitar). The musicians will play authentic instruments from the time of the composition.
