Our Next Event Tuesday 11th February
February 11th – Jon Mason tells Chasing the Sun
Walk the green earth. Scour the sky above the chalk hills. Your troubles will follow you, whatever the age. But did a hero once walk among us? Did a mother raise her son? Did he grow to face our fears – and will that sun rise again?
Journey with Jon as he weaves together traditional tales inspired by the prehistoric White Horse at Uffington, Berkshire. Following stories from Wales to Yorkshire to Iceland and more, we wonder at the traces of left in the soil from centuries past, the hopes and dreams of those people before us, and imagine the ancient myth that might have been.
Jon is a local storyteller and historian, with a deep fascination with the links between legend and the landscape. He performs regularly at festivals, storytelling clubs, schools and events around Sussex, and has staged shows exploring tales from Welsh legend, Norse myth, and more besides.

Open Evening: What can we say about this? The title says it all. We want stories about love: romantic, rebellious or lovers reeling with passion. Of lust: leering, lecherous or ludicrous. And of longing: lovelorn, lyrical, liverish, lycanthropic… Anything goes! Above all, have fun with it.
