A relaxed, stage-free gathering where local people sit alongside artists and community members to share stories and observations about the sea, tides and how water shapes life in Plymouth.
Plymouth Tide Cafe is back on Saturday 10 October at Bonnie's Brunch, 2 Cattedown Road, PL4 0EG. It's a relaxed, stage-free gathering where local people sit alongside artists and people with knowledge of Plymouth's marine environment to share stories, observations and questions about the sea, the tides and how water shapes life in the city. You get a free cup of tea and a slice of cake with it, and the whole thing runs from 2pm to 4pm.
This session is part of Sea for Yourself, Plymouth Culture's programme connecting people with Plymouth Sound National Marine Park through creativity. It's led by Plymouth Culture together with Plymouth Sound National Marine Park, Plymouth City Council and The Box, and funded by the National Lottery Heritage Fund and Arts Council England's Place Partnership Fund. The Tide Cafe format is designed to be low-pressure: there's no stage, just people chatting around a table.
Intertidal artist David Cotterrell is the main guest this time. His commission Intertidal first showed at the inaugural Tide Cafe at Market Hall in Devonport, and his work across art, technology, moving image, installation and public space explores how people understand their surroundings. Joining him are hosts Emily Wood, Mallory Haas, Dr Sheu Odu-Onikosi, Sarah Walker, Phil Robins and Coral Smith. Emily Wood is a journalist and former BBC local weather presenter who spent more than 15 years presenting the local weather and has lived and worked around Plymouth for over 20 years.
