Pages of the Sea - Brancaster

Sunday 11 November 2018
1.30pm to 4.30pm

As the North Norfolk Coast begins to move out of Covid-19 lockdown, and tourism businesses re-open, more planned events are taking place. These are just listings, so please follow links and check with organisers of events before assuming events are running.

Film-maker Danny Boyle invites you to join him in marking 100 years since Armistice and the end of the First World War.

A portrait of an individual from the First World War will emerge from the sand of Brancaster Beach. And then, as the tide rises, be washed away as we take a moment to say a collective goodbye.

’This will be a unique moment to say goodbye and thank you, together, to the millions of men and women who left their shores during the war, many never to return. Join us at one of the beaches around the UK or take part online.’ - Danny Boyle

Poet Carol Ann Duffy has written a poem especially for the event, to be read by individuals, families and communities on the day. The poem will be available from this website and in the press. You can also get involved in creating artwork in the sand using stencils of portraits at the beaches.
