About this Event
Public Sculpture Evevnt
The Elms is hosting a free event to celebrate a new tree sculpture in the front garden of The Elms carved by artist, Nathen Bladderwick. The impressive 3 metre-high sculpture of an owl with sections of a gothic castle around the tree to represent elements from John Keats ‘The Eve of St Agnes’ poem. The first line of the poem is:
St Agnes’ Eve – Ah, Bitter chill it was! The owl, for all his feathers, was a-cold.
The evening 6:00pm to 7:00pm will include opportunities to meet with the artist Nathan Bladderwick, listen to ‘Folks in Harmony’ choir, and a reading of some of the ‘Eve of St Agnes’ stanzas by Havant poet Denise Bennett. FAB Falconry will be bringing some real ‘live’ owls to the event and the Mayor of Havant, Councillor Peter Wade will unveil a plaque to commemorate the historic links to the village. During the event refreshments will be available in the Waterloo Room at The Elms including St Agnes Eve biscuits.
