“Salon is a series of six literary evenings with guest speakers at Chalkwell Hall on the first Wednesday of every month (except August) over the summer of 2010. Developed in collaboration with acclaimed Southend-based author Rachel Lichtenstein, the evenings will be reminiscent of the informal gatherings once held in Rachel’s grandparents house on the nearby Chalkwell Hall Estate when they would invite the poets, writers and artists of the pre-war Jewish East End into their tiny front room to talk and debate.
The Georgian Grade II listed manor house, Chalkwell Hall, renovated into a low carbon space for art and ideas in 2009 will be brought to life as we pack out the former drawing room and its new extensions.
Tickets for each event will be released on the day following the previous event. Look out for announcements here on Metal’s website or on our Salon Facebook Page or please email jennifer@metalculture.com to be added to our events mailing list.
Tickets cost £5.00 which includes a light meal and 2 drinks. Please book early to avoid disappointment.
The dates for Salon evenings are as follows:-
Wed 5th May
Speaker: Iain Sinclair This evening is now FULLY BOOKED”
