Dr Clive Bond will report on the findings of the community archaeological project which has been taking place in the Gaywood River area during the summer and will show some of the finds. Free event.

Lecture on the recent excavations in Gaywood.

Hand-made products, antiques,, vintage and collectibles. Fourth Saturday of every month.

The first of series of workshops, run by specialist Rebecca Hearle, focusing on lino cutting and printing at six different sites across King’s Lynn: True’s Yard Fisherfolk Museum, Stories of Lynn, St Nicholas’ Chapel, Lynn Museum, King’s Lynn Library, and The Custom House. Designs will be based on soldiers’ graffiti and reflect other iconic elements of World War One. The aim is to create unique permanent memorials for each location; all have some historic graffiti as part of its archive which was the inspiration for creating modern graffiti in an artistic way to commemorate World War One.
This project uses the soldiers’ graffiti of the tower of King’s Lynn Library as the inspiration. The name alludes to the physical and emotional scars on those involved in the Great War and the “scars” the graffiti has left on the buildings.
During WW1, Norfolk was seen as potentially under threat of invasion. Around twenty thousand troops were based in the county with nearly 2000 billeted in King’s Lynn. While here, the soldiers used the library as an observation point to observe aircraft activity with a direct phone line to the war office. During those cold nights, the soldiers etched their names, sometimes their regiment and their soldier number on the library tower. Sadly, many of those who left their names, were transferred to frontline regiments and never came back.
There will be six workshops in total - they are completely free and participants can attend all if wished.

Explore Bishop Turbus’ ‘new’ town, the second medieval town, started in 1180 but much altered and the buildings re-faced over the years. The walk takes in King Street, St George’s Guildhall, Tuesday
Market Place, True’s Yard Fisherfolk Museum and St Nicholas’ Chapel. Meet at The Custom House.
All walks last approximately 1 1/2 to 2 hours

Based on a true story the play by Elizabeth MacDonald is a tale of intrigue, love and above all standing up for what you believe in set at the dawn of the Protestant Reformation when England's first heresy movement, Lollardy, threatened Civil War.
Directed by Christopher Yarnell- Skirting Heresy tells the story of Margery Kempe of King's Lynn - a medieval mystic. Considered by many to be mad, bad and dangerous to know, Margery challenged the norm, forged her own path and despite being illiterate hers is the first autobiography in the English language.
With an original score created by Gareth Calway, Andy Wall and Vanessa Wood-Davies the play will be performed in King’s Lynn Minster where Margery worshiped. It is a once in a lifetime experience. Contains some adult themes.
Tickets £5, children free but MUST be accompanied by an adult. vFor details visit the website https://kingslynncornexchange.co.uk/whats-on/event/skirting-heresy/ or call the Box Office on 01553 764864.
