What's on in Middle Rasen

Lincolnshire, England

From craft workshops the kids won't stop asking about to quiz nights that'll test your knowledge of Lincolnshire trivia (yes, really) — Middle Rasen has it sorted. Coffee mornings, farmers' markets, film screenings, book clubs, open mic nights, toddler groups, and the occasional village fête that runs like clockwork. All the events that happen in village halls and community centres and local venues that the big listings sites don't bother with. We check the parish council pages, the library noticeboards, the venue websites buried three clicks deep. If it's happening locally and it's worth knowing about, it's here.

Afternoon Tea with Ida

Register Here Why Afternoon Tea? Ida Day Holzapfel was extremely dedicated to the library during her time here. Her dedication and achievements had a long-lasting impact on the library and Hutchinson. During her time at the library she and her assistants cataloged every single book for the first time, began outreach and home deliveries, moved the library to its current location at 9th and Main, and started the Bookmobile program. We’ve learned about her through stories passed down over time. Her dedication to the library could make her difficult to work with at times, especially if she felt her coworkers didn’t share her dedication to the library. Nonetheless, she cared very much for the library and the community it serves. She was described as a very proper woman and had afternoon tea at 3:00 PM every day with her employees. It’s very fitting to celebrate her 138th birthday with afternoon tea. Our library has continued to grow and provide vital services to Hutchinson, continuing the work she began over 100 years ago. The programs and services we offer have grown substantially over the years while the cost to Hutchinson has remained low, something that has always been important to our mission. Celebrate with us by bringing your fanciest tea cup for afternoon tea on Monday, April 20th at 3:00 PM. A Brief History of Tea Time in Mid-Century America: Afternoon through the 1940s – 1950s in America was a lot different than tea time in the United Kingdom. American afternoon tea...

Virtual Author Talk with Miranda Cowley Heller

Register and ask questions here. Award-winning and bestselling author Miranda Cowley Heller takes us on an intimate journey through the life stages of a woman in her new poetry collection, What the Deep Water Knows. Delicate, yet exceedingly raw, these poems will transport you as vividly as any work of fiction. If I could fly backward, I would. To the safety of branches, to the time when my heart still raced for you, twelve hundred beats a minute. In poetry that is at once bold and lyrical, affecting and devastatingly frank, Miranda Cowley Heller takes us through childhood, marriage, motherhood, and beyond. Suffused with the natural world and the landscape of Cape Cod, where many of the poems are set, What the Deep Water Knows contemplates love in all the seasons. Register now to celebrate National Poetry Month with this graceful new poetry collection. About the Author: Miranda Cowley Heller was raised in New York City and Cape Cod. Her debut novel The Paper Palace was a number one New York Times bestseller in the US, a Sunday Times bestseller in the UK, and was longlisted for the Women’s Prize. She has worked as a senior vice president and head of drama series at HBO, developing and overseeing such shows as The Sopranos, Six Feet Under, The Wire, Deadwood, and Big Love, among others. This is her first poetry collection.
