Shrewsbury’s Quarry at the Being Human Festival: 18th November 2018
The Being Human Festival of the Humanities runs each year, celebrating on-going research and events within the humanities, and supporting free events across the country to attract a public audience. As part of this Festival, the literary, social and historical past, present and future of Shrewsbury Quarry will be explored through a range of family-friendly activities.
On 18 November 2018, Shrewsbury Museum and the Quarry play host to a day of free interactive talks, creative activities and a walk focused on Shrewsbury’s popular 29 acre historic park. The following activities will be taking place throughout the day:
Shrewsbury’s Quarry: Origins and Legacy – Vaughan Suite 11:00am to 12:00pm. Booking required.
Delivered by garden historian Advolly Richmond, this illustrated talk considers how the Quarry has functioned as an important social space since the 16th century and asks how that legacy might be developed for future local communities.
