What's on in Dunkirk

Cambridgeshire, England

Coffee mornings that serve actual decent coffee. Quiz nights that get genuinely competitive (yes, even question 7). Markets where you'll find something better than the supermarket. Dunkirk doesn't do things by halves — check what's on this week and see for yourself. We're talking book clubs that actually finish the book, bingo nights that get surprisingly rowdy, film screenings in village halls with seats older than your grandad. The sort of events where half the entertainment is seeing who else shows up. No pretence, no airs and graces, just good local stuff happening near you.

Living by the Rule: Contemporary Art and the Medieval Monastery

Living by the Rule: Contemporary Art and the Medieval Monastery A talk by Dr Jessica Barker and Dr Ed Krčma Tuesday 2nd June 7pm This talk will be given by the two curators of a major new exhibition, Living by the Rule: Contemporary Meets Medieval, on view at the Sainsbury Centre, Norwich, 16 May – 4 October 2026. The exhibition and accompanying book explore the structure and priorities of everyday life by putting contemporary conditions in dialogue with a seemingly remote and alien form of life: medieval monasticism, and specifically the Rule of Saint Benedict (6th Century). Ely Cathedral was once a Benedictine monastery, and for the exhibition the curators have been able to loan important objects from its collections: the Ely Cope, and four examples of 14th century choir stall fragments, which not been seen by the public since the 19th Century. In addition, the exhibition includes a rare example of pre-Reformation English panel painting that were originally made for Ely Cathedral, the Etheldreda Panels, which have been newly conserved for the show. These and many more examples of medieval monastic objects and artworks are put in dialogue with works by contemporary artists, including two Turner Prize winners, Elizabeth Price and Richard Wright. This talk will introduce the exhibition and explore some of its highlights, including the objects from Ely. Dr. Jessica Barker is a senior lecturer in medieval art at The Courtauld in London.
