MONDAY  13th.OCTOBER
MERE VOICES – Love, Life and Lardy Cake  with ARCHIVE FILM
7.30p.m.                                              The Grove Buildings

A fascinating evening of local history through archive film presented by rural media charity TRILITH  and recordings from the Mere & District Oral History Project.
Mere Voices was launched at last year’s festival in co-operation with Mere Museum. Volunteers, under the guidance of Trilith, have recorded hours of reminiscences about Mere, Stourton and Maiden Bradley. These have been condensed into a CD  ‘Love, Life and Lardy Cake’  giving a vivid impression of a way of life now receding into history in the words of the people who lived it.
