Highlights this week are lots of opportunities for storytelling and conversation – you can share your memories and hear those of other Walthamstow residents with a tale to tell …
Tuesday 8 March
10:30-13:00 – Tales from the marsh: Come and share your memories of Walthamstow Marsh in the second of six creative workshops. Using drama, games, storytelling, creative writing and craft, we will explore your oral history stories of the local neighbourhood. Through the workshops you will generate material for a performance and exhibition to take place this summer on the marsh and in The Mill. You are invited to co-create the work, inputting your ideas around what and how you want your memories to be presented. For further information contact Siobhan O’Neill – 0798 951 9522- Siobhan.ONeill.2014@live.rhul.uk

Unleash your inner artist and decorate your box with the colours, patterns and stories that represent you. Where are you from? Where would you like to go? What’s Your Story? This is a free event for families living in Waltham Forest. Places are available on a first come, first served basis. Parents and Carers are welcome to participate and must remain within The Mill building whist their child is taking part. Click here for full information.
And – as ever – you can just call-in to make a cuppa, read the newspapers, borrow a book from the honesty library, and let your little ones enjoy all the toys in the playroom.
Everyone is welcome whenever we are open. We’re looking forward to seeing you @ The Mill this week … !
