Memories of Eye Cafe & Lantern making workshop Bring along any photos, scrapbooks or other memories about the village. Tell us your stories about Eye. Enjoy an exhibition by Andrew Mortlock, the London Brick archivist and ask him any questions about the brickworks. Alternatively, make a lantern while you talk to the wonderful team from the parade, Light Whale International.
What to expect
The Memories of Eye Cafe will feature images from the village’s history on tables and in a small exhibition. And please bring along any photos, archives or objects about the recent history of Eye that you would like to share. Andrew Mortlock, the London Brick Company Archivist will have a display about Northam brickworks that were in Eye and can answer any questions about brick making. Volunteers and staff from Peterborough Presents are hoping to chat to people and collect their memories. All memories, photos and archives shared will feed into the lantern parade and a heritage trail that will be sited in the village in November.
At the same time, Light Whale International will lead lantern making workshops. Anyone can participate and you don’t need to bring anything. You can make a lantern that you can bring to the parade and it's the first workshop of the year for everyone to take part in.
All materials will be provided.
You can also come along if you just want to meet others for a chat.
There will be tea, coffee & biscuits.
