The Ballad of Wallis Island

A Story of Solitude, Sound, and the Strange Power of Dreams

 

A reclusive lottery winner, Charles Heath (Tim Key) with a taste for vinyl, vintage suits, and the sound of a perfectly tuned guitar. He lives alone on Wallis Island, a remote speck of land somewhere between nowhere and the edge of the map. But Charles has a plan. A dream. A fantasy. To turn his island into the world’s most exclusive concert venue — for an audience of one.

As a charity we rely on donations to help cover the cost of delivering our programme of exhibitions, events, our community activities such as our Dementia Café, Arts Award, Saturday Club, Tots Tuesdays, Start With Art, as well as supporting our core costs. We ask you to support The Corn Hall with a donation, so that we can continue to be a creative community hub for Diss. Whatever the donation, anything from £1 to £10,000, is support that The Corn Hall didn't have until you very kindly gave it to us. We offer you a very warm thank you.
