It looks like Francis Pryor, author of the book ‘The Fens’ and of Flag Fen fame, will be launching the Celebrate the Fens this evening (Friday) as a guest on Fen Folks Friday-
a zoom get together organised by Fascinating Fens at 7.30 – 9.30pm.
I’m not sure if Francis will be giving a formal talk but he is full of interesting information on the Fens, particularly the archaeology, and always has a fascinating story to tell.

As you may know, we will be joining in the celebrations by jointly leading a walk (with Thorney Heritage Museum) on Sunday at 2pm around the ‘island’ of Thorney.

If you would like to join us and haven’t booked, please email us to book asap as there are a couple of places left. Meeting info and other info will then be sent. A geology map of the local area will be provided on the day.
