The Court
Feel the breeze shift, marking the turn of the seasons. The Wheel of the Year spins anew, unveiling a distant, fleeting realm... Welcome to The Court! Join our coterie, led by Queen Mab; local singer, songwriter, and performance artist.
The Court is a celebration of folklore, folk culture, and folk horror. It's a living zine - a vibrant hub where scholars and artists converge, bonded by a deep affection for ancient tales and rustic mystique. Through talks, stories, and music, we weave a rich tapestry of tradition, wonder, and imagination.
Above, in the theatre, we dive into a world of creativity and exploration, with curated performances and an open mic welcoming all who wish to share their folk-inspired art. Below, in the bar, wander through the enchanting night market, where local artisans showcase their crafted treasures. Our night market runs through-out the evening of The Court, welcoming you at The Yellow Book from 18:00 - 22:00.
Lammas is upon us, and we are proud to present the artists who form our first harvest, to share their bounty with you all...
Paul Zenon - Of Wands & Witch Prickers
Born and raised in the shadow of Pendle Hill, Paul has been a performing magician for half a century, with appearances in around forty countries and on hundreds of TV shows. He’s also an actor, author, presenter, paranormal skeptic, and pundit with regard to the history of Magic, Variety and ‘unusual' entertainments. In this talk he will be examining a peculiar artefact, discovered by chance in the dark underbelly of Lewes.
The Night Tangler by Daisy Jordan and Ulysses Black
A mysterious entity stalked the lives of the 18th century lace makers… boogeyman, trickster and devil… But what happens to such monsters when this way of life fades… do they fade? Or do they adapt to a new reality? Using puppetry and artefacts, this behind the scenes presentation by artists Daisy Jordan and Ulysses Black sheds light on how such mischievous meddling still stalks the lives of artists, confounding, disrupting and maybe even enlightening those with whose threads it tangles…
Frankie Heartless
Originally trained as a classical singer and violinist, Frankie Heartless is an avid lover of historical folk music and sea shanties. While best known for being the drag king with the violin, Frankie can be seen playing live music on stage at a range of events, from steampunk, to cabaret, to music hall, to folk music and metal.
