MARSHLAND HISTORIES is an oral history project taking place during the autumn of 2024, devised for Suffolk Wildlife Trust by Poetry People and led by writer Dean Parkin to create a series of oral history 'picture podcasts' about the Lower Waveney Valley — the people, the places and surrounding marshland from Carlton Colville to Worlingham.
​
The project will be launched with an event & exhibition on Sunday 1st September (11am to 4pm) at Carlton Marshes Nature Reserve & Visitors Centre. It will be a chance to come and share your stories and memories of the area and a chance to meet friends, exchange stories and shed light on old photographs.
​
Come along at 12.30pm or 2.30pm for a project presentation, short talk & poetry reading — or drop in any time.​​​ Free cuppa and slice of cake available!
