Event Details

Free workshop 6pm til 8pm

Have you seen The Nornen?

The shipwreck at Berrow?

Have you heard the stories?

The Nornen Project is producing “All Hands!”, a new show about… well, The Nornen, the shipwreck off Berrow Beach. Alongside the show, we’re running a whole host of Nornen-inspired workshops and this is set to be a loud one!

Daniel Hawthorne leads a riotous session on how to spread the news in this most wonderful and traditional of ways. We’ll romp through some vocal techniques and have a go at making announcements in the style of the Town Crier. One of Burnham’s past Town Criers could be heard at sea: could you give him a run for his money? Come and give it a go!

No experience necessary, just a reasonable set of lungs.

Thanks to our funders, we are able to offer support with transport, British Sign Language Interpreters, food and more for our activities. Please contact [email protected] to discuss anything that you need to be able to take part.

Funders: National Lottery Heritage Fund, Arts Council England, Somerset Community Foundation, Hinkley Point C Community Fund, Burnham-on-Sea & Highbridge Town Council and Sedgemoor District Council.
