Somewhen Survival Society - The Harvest Moon
The Somewhen Survival Society invites you to join us this September for an intimate evening of performance, folklore, and communal dining.
Gather beneath The Harvest Moon at Tapnell Farm as we share wild food, stories, songs, and the Society's latest discoveries from the Somewhen.
Part performance, part feast, part gathering, this unique theatrical experience offers an invitation into an unfolding piece of Island folklore.
As the evening unfolds, the boundary between our world and the stories of the Somewhen begins to blur. We invite you to step inside a living mythology and celebrate what it means to be a survivor on this island.
The Gathering
Step across the threshold into our 90-minute performance, with a 20minute intermission. We begin at 19.30; please arrive at Tapnell Farm from 19.00. Guided by members of the Society, you will uncover fragments of a hidden history, encounter curious traditions and forgotten stories that remain etched into the Isle of Wight’s landscape, and learn the survival skills passed down by those who have ventured closest to the Somewhen.
A Feast Rooted in the Landscape
You will enjoy a selection of wild bites and a harvest hot pot - flavors foraged from the very hedgerows that surround us.

Supported by Arts Council England
Arts Council England is the national development agency for creativity and culture. Our vision, set out in our strategy Let’s Create, is that by 2030, we want England to be a country in which the creativity of each of us is valued and given the chance to flourish, and where every one of us has access to a remarkable range of high-quality cultural experiences. Between 2023 and 2026 we will have invested over £467 million of public money from the Government, alongside an estimated £250 million each year from The National Lottery, to help ensure that people in every part of the country have access to culture and creativity in the places where they live.
