The Horkey

Here comes The Horkey, the annual mini-festival celebrating the Suffolk way of life, past and present, returning for its fourth year at The Cut. The Horkey offers a packed all-day programme of films, talks, music, displays, produce and craft stalls, along with seasonal refreshments cooked up by ‘soup queen’ Jemima from The Cut café.

This year's programme includes rare East Anglian films rescued by film hunter James Cecil, traditional Suffolk songs with Katie Howson, stories from Dean Parkin's Marshland Histories, remarkable portraits from Richard Allenby-Pratt's Suffolk Project, archive footage of farming life introduced by David Cleveland, and poet Naomi Jaffa reflecting on 35 years in Suffolk.

Curated by Suffolk-born writer and poet Dean Parkin. He says, ‘The Horkey is a traditional feast and custom, the name given to harvest celebrations particularly in East Anglia. It’s a lovely title for this Suffolk harvest festival of the arts!’

So, get yourself along to The Horkey. That'll be a right nice day I reckon!
