Dew Ponds Uncovered

The minibus tour will take visitors to ancient dew ponds near Black Robin Farm, the future site of Towner Seven Sisters, where they will spend around 45 minutes at each pond, learning about the landscape and its history. With historical stories, pond-expert 'Pete the Pond', and refreshments en route, this event promises a rich and engaging experience.

Clare Whistler and Charlotte Still, the artists behind the tour, have a long history of collaboration, having worked together on the Waterweek project for over 12 years. Clare Whistler is a collaborative artist, poet, and choreographer who has worked in performance, site-specific events, and social action art, while Charlotte Still is a multi-media visual artist concerned with environmental issues.

The tour is part of the Digging Horizons series, a collection of autumn talks, walks, and events exploring new approaches to landscape, ecology, and archaeology, made possible with The National Lottery Heritage Fund. The event will take place on Saturday, 31 October 2026, at Towner, Eastbourne, and tickets are available with the button beside this article.
