Emma Harding teams up with 135 Christ Church CE Primary Academy students to create Robinson Crusoe shelters in Gensing Gardens. The young artists' clay tiles embellished with monoprints will form beautiful round roofs on shelters made of repurposed materials. Shelters just big enough for one, with a copy of Robinson Crusoe, to seek sanctuary from the weather, look out and think.

A free outdoor event running for the duration of the festival.

Access: Gensing Gardens,
Charles Road, St. Leonards-on-Sea, East Sussex, TN38 0QD
Level access from Charles Road where
paths are flat and easy walking.

Artist Susan Miller takes that modern emblem of shipwreck, the humble pallet, and repurposes for messages to the community. She joins forces with local young home schoolers to create a free installation on scrub land next to a station path to trigger thoughts as we go about our daily business. To ask questions about the now and the Crusoe then.

A free outdoor event running for the duration of the festival.

Access: Pathway from Station Approach
to St Leonards Warrior Square Station
St Leonards, TN37 6BS

Husband and wife artist team Mark and Isabel Fisher consider Crusoe's moments of distance gazing in the novel. Planning his exit from the island.

They're creating a Robinson Crusoe mural viewpoint on the lower promenade for 6th formers about to embark on life away from their home town. Come sit and contemplate impending journeys with RC, the inventor of the man-bag and trend setter of individual styling.

During the festival, sixth form composers and poets will be performing their work at the site and uploading selfies and film to social media. A collaboration with East Sussex College. And there are treasure boxes of messages from Mark and Isabel and snippets of text for everyone to seek out.

A free outdoor event running for the duration of the festival.

Access: Steps from upper promenade or a slope east of the steps near Goat Ledge Café
