New Diary events coming soon!
On May 18th – Come and see Project eARTh’s wooden sculptures, Grinlow’s Legacy, and hear the stories created about them. The group worked with sculptor Sarah Fiander and writer / storyteller Gordon MacLellan, (Creeping Toad) on the project. Yr 5 of Burbage Primary School also added to the stories, and on 18th, Gordon will tell the stories – and you can take away a lovely booklet of them too.

‘Made in Derbyshire’ – Blue John Felted wall panels
Members of Project eARTh are working with artist Carol Wilson to create wall panels for the children’s area of Buxton Library. They are doing a special project as part of Made in Derbyshire, and have chosen to work on the theme of Blue John, and the children’s book written by Berlie Doherty, with illustrations by Tim Clarey.

Don’t miss Jackie Hagan, Performing her debut solo show, Some People Have Too Many Legs, as it takes to the road in spring 2015.
Last summer Jackie Hagan went to hospital with a mystery disease, they told her she was going to die and cut bits of her off. Luckily she didn’t die, but she did eat loads and loads of Kit Kats because she thought it wouldn’t matter if she got fat. She also lost a leg, made BFFs with an old woman who looked like a threadbare tennis ball (with eyes), fell in love with a posh man called Miles, and found her Dad.
Some People Have Too Many Legs Is a show about facing your fears and throwing glitter at them.
Tickets available on the door, from school reception, from Bay Tree Books and from:
