Christy Fearn at Lowdham Book Festival 2014!

Christy returns to Lowdham Book Festival on

 Saturday 28th June!

'MARY SHELLEY - MOTHER OF MONSTERS!'

time to be confirmed

FREE   ENTRY!!

Expect electrifying excitement as Christy brings to life Mary Shelley's loves, losses and literary creations...

Mary Shelley's hideous progeny inspired a generation of science fiction writers, but does it still serve as a warning 

in the 21st century?

Christy will also have a bookstall in the village hall. Signed copies of 'Framed' will be available - there will also be CDs of audio interviews with Mary Shelley and Lord Byron! Plus an exclusive recording of 'Coleridge - in love with Psychedelia?'

Article in the Newark Advertiser about filming at the Galleries of Justice, for Wildfire TV.

I'm Ms not Mrs Fearn, and I work at the museum, I'm not a volunteer. Despite that, a very good article...

I had to wear a wig as well!

 

Luddite history!

I'm fascinated by the Luddites. If you visit the museums in Nottingham and Ruddington, you'll discover what happened during the Luddite revolt... and what happened to the ones who ended up in court, finally being transported to Australia, or executed...

The Luddites sometimes used to meet in the caves underneath Nottingham, to plan their framebreaking:

All of the museums have special events throughout the year plus tours with costumed guides.
