BATTERY RECYCLING – most of us would like to recycle our batteries but collecting enough to warrant a trip to the recycling centre takes forever. We are trialling battery collection at the Eastbourne Library Foyer. These batteries will be taken to Bunnings when enough have been collected.

Katherine Mansfield At the Bay poster

Wellesley College at Days Bay is the perfect setting for the first screening of this production. It is one of the few buildings that survive from 1908, when Mansfield stayed at her parents’ cottage at nearby Downes Point. Known then as Days Bay House, a hotel, the impressive facade of the main building is much the same today. The feature is a new production by local film maker Simon Hoyle (Southlight) and includes actors from Eastbourne’s Butterfly Creek Theatre Group. Directed by Anne Manchester, it also draws on many contemporary images of the setting for “At the Bay”, chosen by historian Alison Carew. Mansfield scholarRead More →
