The Wonderful Beast Singers present two free performances (17:00 and 18:30) of songs and mythical tales. Led by Rob Gildon and Wonderful Beast's Alys Kihl, with composer Martina Schwarz on accordion, the performances are set within an immersive arboreal environment created by film-maker Emily Richardsonwww.emilyrichardson.org.uk. Emma Bernard, director and tale-spinner, will cast us back into a world where trees could talk and Green Ladies danced in the moonlight, when elders were witches and oak trees Gods of Thunder. 


The performance contributes to The Art Station's event, A Winter Celebration. A Winter Celebration forms part of Saxmundham’s Victorian Christmas Fayre, from 16:00 to 20:00 on 1 December.
