Event 14 | Oliver Smith | On This Holy Island

£12.00

SOLD OUT - Oliver Smith - On This Holy Island - Finding the Ancient Paths Across Modern Britain
Travel writer, Oliver Smith, sets out radically to reframe our idea of ‘pilgrimage’ in Britain by retracing sacred travel made across time; from ritual journeys in the depths of Ice Age to new pilgrimages of the 21st century. He embarks on an epic adventure across British landscapes – sacred routes to churches, cathedrals, standing stones – exploring prehistoric, pagan and Christian places. He reveals how football stadiums and music festivals have become contemporary sites of pilgrimage. The routes walked are ancient and the pilgrims he meets are modern. an illustrated talk Priority booking - Become a Friend - Contact TIC Bridport to book tickets - 01308 424901

£12.00

SOLD OUT - Sue Prideaux - Wild Thing - A Life of Paul Gauguin

Paul Gauguin is chiefly known as the giant of postimpressionist painting whose bold colours and compositions rocked the Western art world. Less known, he was a stockbroker in Paris and after the 1882 financial crash, struggled to sustain his artistry. As a journalist he exposed the injustices of French colonial rule in Tahiti. Award winning biographer, Sue Prideaux, re-examines the artist’s adventurous and complicated life, illuminating the people, places and ideas that shaped his vision.
