Come along to the Munch and Listen lunchtime talk - 'Bugs! The Tale of Two Tottenham Children's Books' by Candy Amsden, local artist, and Deborah Hedgecock, (Curator, Bruce Castle Museum). Meet the artist of our current exhibition 'Bugs!', which forms the basis of a delightfully engaging children's book. Find out more about her fascination with insects and creepy crawlies, and how she went about creating her exquisite drawings and illustrations. We will also learn more about an earlier Tottenham children's author - Priscilla Wakefield (1751-1832) - who wrote her own book on insects for the education of children in the early 19th century.
Doors open 12 noon. Refreshments available.

An evening talk marking Holocaust Memorial Day led by Jan Marsh, historian and author, as she shares the poignant stories behind the faces of survivors of the Holocaust who made their home in Haringey. This talk accompanies a special photographic exhibition of the same name at Bruce Castle Museum - 'Portraits for Posterity' (external link), by photographer Matt Writtle, in association with Jan Marsh and Jacki Reason.
Jan will be joined on the evening by Haringey resident John Hajdu (external link), who will tell his own very moving story of his early life in Hungary during World War Two under the Nazi regime, and his subsequent experiences after the Holocaust as a refugee in post-WW2 Europe.
Each face tells their own story - ones that should never be forgotten. The exhibition Portraits for Posterity provides a permanent memorial that also commemorates the millions who perished without portraits.
Doors open at 7pm. Refreshments available. Kindly supported by the Friends of Bruce Castle.
