Blandford Literary Festival Talks
13th November - 14th November
The Museum is delighted to be supporting the Blandford Literary Festival again this year and we look forward to welcoming authors May Ellis, Paula Harmon and Georgia Piggott to the Museum.
Friday 13 November
2:00-3:00 pm: New Shoes & Old Knickers with May Ellis and Paula Harmon
May Ellis and Paula Harmon will be speaking about researching their historical novels. From the role of Quakers and secret missions in Somerset, the role of women in shoe factories, via what the well-dressed Edwardian might do with her underwear, May and Paula will share some of the fascinating, and occasionally bizarre, facts they’ve uncovered for their books, including several they’ve had to leave out because no one would believe them.
Saturday 14 November
2:15-3:15 pm: Stuart Mysteries and Recipes with Tasting Samples with Georgia Piggott
Georgia Piggott, author of the historical mysteries The Alice Chronicles, will talking about her books and researching the food of rich and poor from 400 years ago. Georgia will bring samples to taste and recipe cards to try at home.
Tickets for each event are £6, click here to buy from Tickettailor.com.
