Come and find out about one of the greatest unsolved mysteries of the last millennium….
How did the Chew Valley Hoard get to be buried in a remote Somerset field nearly 1000 years ago? And what has happened since then?
Valley Arts have joined with South West Heritage to start to tell this incredible story. Two big dates are on the attached invitation:
Every Coin Tells a Story Saturday June 20th 10 – 4pm
A free Community Celebration Day in the heart of Chew Magna: a chance to come together and get hands-on with history.
The Old School Room Complex, South Parade, Chew Magna, BS40 8SH
Free to everyone
Finders Keepers: A Valley Arts Community Production
Yeo Valley Organic Garden
Saturday July 18th 2pm & 7pm; Sunday July 19th 1.30pm & 6pm
There’s nothing like an unsolved mystery to get under your skin. Who buried 2,584 silver coins in a Somerset field during the Norman Conquest, and why did they never come back?
Nobody knows, but this summer, five local writers, a crew of professional theatre makers, and over forty local residents have decided to find out, and the show they’ve made together is funny, surprising, and completely unmissable!
This is community theatre at its most ambitious, most joyful, and most gloriously daft.
Please come along and tell your friends!
best wishes
