Watching TV By Candlelight - Arts & Music Festival - Heron Corn Mill - Beetham, Cumbria
Summary Watching TV By Candlelight
"If it weren't for electricity, we'd all be watching television by candlelight."
- George Leslie Gobel

Arts & music festival on Saturday 11th April based around renewable and sustainable energy and the revival of previously redundant technologies within new and future environmentally conscious ideas. The themes for the event and proposed work have been drawn from the parallels of the mill's 18th century waterwheel powered grinding mechanisms and the 21st century evolution of that technology into the electricity generating hydro turbine being installed on the site.

The event will run throughout the day and evening on the Heron Corn Mill site with displays from fringe engineers demonstrating 'home-brew' and 'futuristic' energy devices, Steampunk exhibits, workshops, artist interventions and an evening music and performance show.
