SUMMARY:The Power of the Particular: Brief Lives Creative Writing Workshops
DESCRIPTION:Join the Chippenham Museum Creative Writing Group for a series of linked workshops celebrating the 400th anniversary of the birth of local antiquarian and famous biographer\, John Aubrey. The workshops will be led by Lesley Taylor\, an experienced facilitator\, and will draw inspiration from Aubrey’s work and the museum’s summer exhibition. \nBorn in Kington St Michael in 1626\, Aubrey was a biographer\, archaeologist\, scientist\, naturalist\, and oral historian. He valued the minutiae of everyday life\, and his writing is rich with specific (and often witty) details that bring the past to life. \nDrawing on his most well-known work\, Brief Lives – written portraits of key figures of his day – the workshops will explore how to write with greater detail. Sessions will provide an opportunity to develop the skill of telling your own stories with clarity\, experimenting with a range of forms including flash fiction\, memoir\, poetry\, and creative non-fiction. \nSuitable for beginners and experienced writers alike\, this series of monthly workshops will culminate in An Evening with Aubrey at the museum\, where participants’ work will be shared and celebrated. The date for this celebratory event is to be confirmed. \nEach session costs £5 per person. Spaces are limited\, so booking is essential. Please contact the museum to reserve your place. \n \nFind out more about the Chippenham – Our History project on this website here.

SUMMARY:Chippenham in Motion
DESCRIPTION:The Chippenham Players are doing things a little differently this year. Following the retirement of their long-standing director\, Barbara\, the group has welcomed an ambitious young director determined to shake things up and take the company in a bold new direction. \nHis vision? A site-specific murder mystery set in the 1920s. His style? Energetic\, unconventional\, and a little radical for this otherwise traditional amateur dramatics company. \nThis playful production invites you to step into the world of a local Am Dram group as they attempt to stage an ambitious historical tale of intrigue\, secrets and tragedy. But as rehearsals unfold\, not everyone is convinced by the director’s daring ideas. Will the cast rise to the challenge and create something brilliant\, or will it all prove a little too adventurous for this sleepy market town? \nJoin us for this unique promenade performance\, where the story unfolds across different locations as you follow the action. Your ticket also includes a cream tea. \n⚠️ Important information:\n• This is an outdoor promenade performance\, so please dress appropriately for the weather.\n• Please arrive at The Angel Hotel ready for the 2:30pm performance start. \nWe look forward to welcoming you for an afternoon of theatre\, mystery and a touch of theatrical chaos. \nBook tickets here: ticketsource.co.uk/rag-and-bone-arts-cic/t-gllzmna \n \nFind out more about the Chippenham – Our History project on this website here. \n
