March 8th at Westgate Unitarian Chapel- Clara’ Clarkson’s Women and catacomb tour

facebook event link

An incredible opportunity to hear performance readings by the Cuckoo’s Egg cast dressed in period costume of Clara Clarkson’s diaries and other extracts from other historical documents that tell the story of these incredible women and how they are linked to the chapel and to Wakefield.

A visit to the catacombs will follow with further readings from Mary Shelly’s Frankenstein. Mary was a frequent visitor to Wakefield to visit the influential women from our city.

DTC has secured funding to continue this amazing arts project; research, story telling, spoken word, talks, marches, community events, workshops, blue plaques, and more!

A series of workshops from May until February are now posted so that you can join in all of the dates, or as many as you wish. Pay as you feel donations will go towards Civic Society Blue Plaques.

Here’s the link to our facebook page, and below, the flyer of workshops and events.

Rachel Reeves MP commissioned the Baroness Bacon Rhubarb Pale Ale brewed by Five Towns Brewery, Wakefield for The Strangers Bar, Houses of Parliament.

 

Baroness Alice Bacon’s legacy continues in an afternoon tea event, hosted by The Alice Bacon Trust, Normanton Town Council and Dream Time Creative. Held at Normanton Town Hall, where her Blue Plaque will be placed, the Friday 1st June event, held between 1pm and 4pm will include an official welcoming of the plaque with an unveiling at 3pm.

Guests from the local community will be invited to share their memories and stories of Alice and the Forgotten Women of Wakefield project will be performing poems about her set against the backdrop of an exhibition dedicated to her life and legacy.

The Broadsheet of Alice Bacon is produced by the whole team but special thanks must go to Steve Williams for his design and main article writing. Sarah Cobham provided the editorial comment and the initial ideas/design whilst the photographs of the artifacts have come from the archive collection put together by Sarah and gifted from Valerie and David Box, of Altoffs.
