A event on Saturday 3rd December. The event starts at 10:00.
We are thrilled to share that local experimental musical artist Madame Ceski (Francesca Simmons) is working on a life-sized stone circle sound installation here at St Anne’s House.
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.
During this event you can try your hand at tufting as you listen to improvised sounds by the artist, plus see the work in process at the moment.
Free, however, please let us know you're planning to attend.
What else is on for Sound Henge?

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.
