On Thursday, April 7th, performers from Farnham Maltings are returning to the village hall with their brand new production ‘Campfire’. Anyone who saw Mountain Music will know that we are in for a wonderful evening.
There will be music and poetry (which we know Hambledonians love – remembering our fantastic evening with Ian McMillan and Luke Carver-Goss) and we also have the exciting opportunity to be part of the show! Please read on for information from the team at the Maltings.
What’s Your Story?
We all have a story to tell, but it’s not always easy to talk about yourself. Sharing our stories can help us to reconnect with each other in an increasingly fractured world.
That’s why Campfire is coming to your village. Campfire is a unique, magical event which celebrates the untold stories of people who make up a community. We’re looking for people to tell true stories at the event and to come to a workshop on the afternoon of the performance to so that they’re well-equipped to contribute.
No story is too small! From mundane moments to miraculous misadventures, we want to hear it all. All you need to do is show up to our free, fun workshop. You might come with an idea of the story you could tell, but it’s totally ok if you turn up with nothing. We’ll help you find and shape your story in a warm, supportive environment. Why not come to the workshop and see what it’s all about? You’ve got nothing to lose!
I didn’t think I had any good stories to tell, but Molly gives you interesting prompts and helps you create a structure around something from your life you didn’t think was story-worthy.
It makes you realise how interesting people are.
Exceeded my expectations
We’ve already got a couple of people signed up as story-tellers but we’d love a lot more to make the performance even more of a success. Have you got an amusing or moving story to tell from your own life? Have you got fascinating tales that you remember from Hambledon’s past? Perhaps you’re not sure you have a story to tell but might like to come along to the workshop to find out? The possibilities are endless and we know there are lots of great stories out there!
The workshop is on Thursday, April 7th from 2 to 4 pm with the performance the same evening at 7.30.
Tickets £10 each from the Village Shop from Tuesday, March 15th. For more information please contact Ruth Canham at villagehall@hambledonsurrey.co.uk or at the shop!
