Join us as we celebrate Madame Ceski's opening night of Sound Henge, a life-sized stone circle sound installation! During the evening University of Bristol’s Professor Ronald Hutton will talk about Stonehenge.
Opening: 5.30pm - 9pm
Talk with Ronald Hutton begins: 7.30pm
Bricks bar will be open and serving mulled wine and other drinks for the event.
Step inside the circle to be enveloped in a ritual soundscape and touch the tactile stones to trigger sounds, in this transformative musical experience. Inspired by the history, archaeology and folklore of stone circles, the artist is creating a space that uses our senses to link ancient to modern.
Free, however, please let us know you're planning to attend.

Artist bio:
I'm a Welsh composer, performer & collaborator, based in St.George Bristol. Using song, improvisation, performance & experimentation, my work focuses on ‘folk’ in its widest sense – people’s habits & traditions, ranging from the mundane to the spiritual.
My work is string & vocal based with improvisation & field recordings, juxtaposing acoustic instruments, fluid tuning systems & handmade sounds. I often collaborate across artforms, such as working with visual collectives like 1927 theatre & The Paper Cinema, & am currently a resident of Pervasive Media Studios, Watershed.
Recent projects include Arts Council’s Developing Your Creative Practice, EFDSS’ Alan James Creative Bursary 2021-22, a Ty Cerdd mentorship with AV artist Kathy Hinde plus a Sound & Music Covid-19 Award for Covid Ritual Music, exhibited as part of Grayson Perry’s Art Club at Bristol Museum.
