Bad weather has forced organisers to postpone a free Festival of Sheppey open-air creative art event.
Harry Farmer from the Museum of London Archaeology has abandoned plans for his Coasts in Minds beach walk at Warden Bay this afternoon (Thursday).
Instead, the event will be moved to next Monday (June 15) evening.
He said last night: “We have been closely monitoring the weather forecasts and have taken the decision to postpone tomorrow’s event due to high winds and heavy rain throughout the day.”
People already registered have been notified.
But Mr Farmer added: “We want as many people on the Island to have the opportunity to join this. The later low tide timings on Monday mean it will be more accessible for people to attend after work.”
The session will also feature Sheppey artist Laurie Harpum.
New details are:
Creative Beach Walk
Monday, June 15, 6:30pm – 8:30pm
Meet: Cliff Drive car park, Warden Bay, ME12 4SA
Participants will be guided to create an “ephemeral sculpture and artwork” on the beach by Island artist Laurie Harpum using materials such as pottery shards, driftwood, shells and grasses. Participants will be encouraged to explore the coastal environment, considering the history and origin of the objects with Museum of London Archaeology members.
Anyone wanting to attend should register for a free space using the below link:
