Join musician Tim Hill to discover autumn traditions, from Harvest Home and Halloween to carnival and Punky Night.Autumn is a time of feasts and fires, mischief and mayhem, one of the great celebratory times of the year. A time when we dress up, set things alight, light up the dark nights, plays tricks and games and eat rich food. In this talk Tim Hill explores how and why we gather and delight in these special times, often drawing on Somerset and the South West’s rich traditions of celebration.
The talk will range through Harvest Homes, Halloween, bonfires and fireworks, village bands, costumes, Illuminated carnival and Punky Night. Tim explores the ways we celebrate with music, noise, song and dance, costumes and disguise, parades and processions, fire and illumination and food and feasts. The talk will be illustrated with the many photos and pictures Tim has gathered over the years and will feature songs and music too. At the end there will be a chat and a chance to share your stories too.
