FOXLOWE Arts Centre Leek

After the initial sell out success of Cath Walton’s Foxlowe and her families Foxlowe arts centre are pleased to announce the next Foxlowe Talks.

Wednesday 21st March - Geoff Browne: Headlines & Deadlines. The inside story of how newspapers became what they are and why they do what they do. Includes local history as seen through the Post & Times and silly headlines that don’t mean what the writers wanted them to mean.Geoff’s regular column in the Post & Times informs and entertains readers week by week with a professional style and a unique blend of humour and insight.

Wednesday 25th April - Carol Phillipson: Through The Eye Of A Needle. The talk will show how a hobby developed into an, at times, almost full-time occupation, from running a small cross-stitch business to being asked to lecture at the largest international patchwork show in the world. Retired teacher and author of seven books on cross-stitch and patchwork, Carol will offer an entertaining insight into the highs and lows of her “extra” life as a needlework and patchwork designer.

Wednesday 2nd May, To Be Confirmed - Talk on Castro’s Cuba. Details pending from university of Nottingham’s Forum for Cuban Studies staff.

Tickets will be available soon from Colloco (Sheepmarket, Leek) and Boardman’s Newsagents (Broad  Street, Leek). £5 with all proceeds for Foxlowe arts centre
