Venue: The Corn Hall
Sunday 3rd May at DissCover: 17:00 - 19:30
Big Sky Writing
Celebrating East Anglian Nature Writing
An evening celebrating wonder, observation and connection. Through lunar chronicles, illustrated
diaries and a lifetime of exploring wild places, these authors illuminate the rhythms of nature and
our place within it, offering stories that are both revelatory and deeply moving.
Tor Falcon
17:00 – 18:00
Tor will be sharing her award-winning Sugar Beet Moon, a
captivating chronicle of chasing the moon across two years.
In her illustrated talk, she will explain how, through nightly drawings
and diary entries, she learned not only about luna cycles and how
to see and draw in the dark, but how the moon ultimately shows us
here, our place on Earth.
Tor will be book signing at 19:45.
Richard Mabey
18:30 – 19:30
Our festival closes with an evening with the father of modern nature
writing.
His luminous prose highlights our deep connections with the wild,
from forgotten urban corners to nightingale-haunted thickets. Join
this Fellow of the Royal Society of Literature as he discusses
with Terence Blacker memories of his remarkable career.
Richard
will be book signing at 19:45.
