SUMMARY:Short Story Writing Competition
DESCRIPTION:What are you up to this week?\nHow about writing a 500-word story for a Short Story Writing Competition?\nThe theme is the murder of King Edward the Martyr\, which took place at Corfe Castle back in 978AD – Dorset in the Dark Ages. Who saw it happen? Whose lives were touched? What happened to them? We’re looking for adventures and secrets\, miracles and mischief\, colourful characters and timeless truth. There’s 5 age categories\, and its open to everyone living in Dorset. The 10 winners won’t just get a £50 cash prize and published in our booklet….their story might get even adapted for the stage! \nInspired by Chaucer\, ‘The Shaftesbury Tales’ is a collection of stories – both written and performed. Performers from Treehouse Theatre will be walking from Corfe Castle to Shaftesbury in July\, from village to village\, teaming up with local theatre groups to perform hilarious and interactive community shows along the way. \nClosing date 18th March!\nFull details and competition entry form on our website: www.treehousetheatre.com/shaftesburytales

SUMMARY:Stonehenge - we need to talk
DESCRIPTION:Stonehenge is a world-famous monument\, the greatest achievement of our prehistoric ancestors. It has been the subject of investigation and speculation for centuries and\, while science has provided some answers\, there is much that remains enigmatic. \nFollowing on from our very successful day in the Autumn\, which concentrated on Stonehenge itself\, we are now going to turn our attention to its surrounding landscape. Stonehenge is just one part (albeit the focus) of a complex of prehistoric monuments\, some of which pre-date it\, others of which demonstrate Stonehenge’s power well into the Bronze Age. This day will involve three experts who will look at the landscape through differing eyes: \nJulian Richards is an archaeologist who has studied Stonehenge and its landscapes for over 40 years\, conducting the first major survey of the Stonehenge Environs in the 1980s. Julian will examine how our understanding of the landscape has developed over the past three centuries. \nDr Mike Allen is a leading environmental archaeologist who has extensively researched the prehistoric landscape of Wessex. Mike will examine the evidence for landscape change from the post-glacial period onwards and why the environment may have determined the location for some of our most spectacular complexes of Neolithic monuments. \nLuke Winter is one of the country’s leading experimental archaeologists. Responsible for the design and build of the Neolithic houses at the Stonehenge Visitor centre\, Luke will examine the landscape from a prehistoric resource viewpoint\, examining the ways in which it provided for everyday life. \nAfter each presentation there will be an opportunity for questions and discussion and the remainder of the day will allow the opportunity to explore wider issues. This is the chance to ask all those questions about Stonehenge that you have always wanted to ask… \nThe course starts with registration at 10.00am and will finish at 4.00 pm. Tea/coffee will be provided throughout the day. Lunch is not provided and there are no shops or food outlets nearby so please bring a packed lunch. Lunchtime will give an opportunity to explore Springhead’s beautiful gardens. Please note the heating is kept low so wrap up well. \nThe course is strictly limited to 40 participants and early booking is advised. The cost per person is £40 and all proceeds will go towards supporting Springhead’s education aims. \nAdvance booking essential. \nPlease use link below to book your tickets through Ticket Source. \nhttps://www.ticketsource.co.uk/springhead-trust/t-xmjaoky
