Slate Barn

Balthazar and Samuel Gaulier at the Slate Barn SwefflingSaturday night the Slate Barn Sweffling was transformed into a slightly improvised (the foyer was a tent) but fully functioning theatre.  Essential components were a stage, lighting (including a glitter ball), sound system, catering and if a bit awkward to access a sizeable dressing room.  An invited full house that slightly strained the car park were musically and theatrically entertained by the debut of Slate Barn Arts, what a lovely and local venue for future shows.

Aerial view of Sweffling windmillThanks to Ivan and Gosia we now know the Sweffling windmill (grid ref TM 634902 264054) is on the left up an apparently unnamed road off Low Road.  The base is a private home but a pic in the University of Kent collection shows the top was still on in 1933.
