SUMMARY:Could you be a local history detective?
DESCRIPTION:Join local historian Lucy Whitfield at Chippenham library for a local history trail.\nHunt throughout the building\, and the shelves\, for clues to piece together the history of two local Chippenham characters. And be in the running for a special chocolate prize. \nHidden amongst the shelves in the library will be clues to these two special characters of Chippenham – Margaret Griffin and Ann Colborne – and your job is to find all the information and put together their stories. \nYou can follow the story of Ann or Margaret\, or even look at them both.\nAnd there’s two ways to look too – a simpler trail for families (under-14s)\, and a more in-depth trail for individuals (15-adults) which involves more research in the library – so suitable for anyone and everyone who’s interested in the history of our fabulous town. \nThere’ll be four chances of a chocolate prize – each drawn from the families and from the individual answers of both the Ann trail and the Margaret trail\, so lots to play for. \nCan YOU discover the trail and piece the clues together? \nCompletely free. No need to book. \n \nThis event is part of the Chippenham – Our History project. Find out more on this website here.

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

DESCRIPTION:Join us as we celebrate the 400th anniversary of the birth of local antiquarian and famous biographer\, John Aubrey. Open to young people aged 16-18\, these free workshops offer the chance to develop your writing skills and see your work in print. \nAubrey was an archaeologist\, scientist\, and historian who\, from a young age\, collected stories and local legends from people across Wiltshire. He used these to create a series of mini-biographies collectively known as Brief Lives. \nInspired by Aubrey’s work\, participants will use the museum’s collection of portraits\, taken by local photographers in the 1900s\, as creative prompts to write their own ‘brief life’ for these anonymous figures. \nAn experienced writer will lead the workshops\, helping young people develop their skills and explore new writing forms and genres\, including: \nPoetry and lyric writing\nDramatic monologues and short scripts\nShort stories and flash fiction\nThe project is supported by the Friends of Chippenham Museum and will conclude with a special celebration of the work produced\, including a printed publication. \nThese workshops are free\, but 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.
