“What is to be Done” – A Russian Question. Talk by Lesley Chamberlain @ Highgate Society
Nov 12 @ 7:30 pm – 9:00 pm

Churchill said it was riddle wrapped up in a mystery inside an enigma: can  we ever understand Russia? 

What is to be Done?’ is a question Russians have asked themselves many times over the last two centuries. Sharing their ideas over a lifetime of reading and writing, author Lesley Chamberlain spotlights the difficulties and asks whether there’s an answer.

Lesley Chamberlain studied Russian and German in England and was a Reuters correspondent in Moscow 1978-79 before embarking on a freelance career. While reviewing for many national and international publications and writing and broadcasting on BBC radio she has published over twenty books. They reflect approaches to Russia by way of food, literature, travel, history, philosophy and fiction. Titles include The Food and Cooking of RussiaMotherland A Philosophical History of Russia and most recently a novel The Mozhaisk Road Russian Heart of Darkness.

Adrian Hemming. The Shape of Memory @ Highgate Gallery
Nov 14 @ 10:00 am – 2:00 pm

Highgate Gallery in conjunction with The Wolf Collective is pleased to announce a solo exhibition by acclaimed British artist Adrian Hemming.
This exhibition brings together a significant body of work spanning Hemming’s decades-long career,
including oil paintings, prints, drawings, and watercolours.
Known for his meditative landscapes and luminous handling of colour, Hemming’s practice invites viewers
to reflect on how memory shapes perception—and how the land itself becomes a repository of both
personal and collective experience.


The Shape of Memory engages deeply with themes drawn from cultural history and philosophy.
Echoing Simon Schama’s Landscape and Memory, the exhibition explores landscape not merely
as a backdrop, but as a force through which identity, myth, and memory are forged. Hemming’s
work also resonates with both Nietzsche and Proust’s reflections on conscious remembering in the
body, where memory is not only stored in the mind but experienced viscerally—through rhythm,
sensation, and image.
As noted in the late Professor Denis Cosgrove’s essay on Hemming, his landscapes are “charged with the
geography of emotion,” operating between place and psyche. Hemming’s canvases often blur the boundary
between inner and outer worlds, rendering terrain that is at once real and remembered, abstract and intimate.
This exhibition offers a rare opportunity to engage with the full emotional and intellectual range of
Hemming’s work—a practice deeply rooted in the poetics of place and the subtle architectures of memory.

Adrian Hemming at Highgate Gallery opening times:

Friday 14 November: 13.00 – 17.00

Saturday 15  & Sunday 16 November: 10.00 – 16.00

Christmas Come to Moominvalley @ Jacksons Lane
Dec 5 @ 10:30 am – 11:30 am
Christmas Come to Moominvalley @ Jacksons Lane

“Delightful”
— The Guardian

“A beautiful display of circus-infused creativity”
— Curtain Call 

Following the success of last year’s run, our adaptation of Tove Jansson’s The Fir Tree — Christmas Comes to Moominvalley — returns to delight audiences of all ages!

The Moomins are woken up from their winter sleep to be told that ‘Christmas’ is coming. The only trouble is, the puzzled Moomins have no idea who, or what ‘Christmas’ is . . .

Audiences will be captivated by the lovable Moomintroll, his parents, Moominmamma and Moominpappa and all their friends, with breathtaking circus, stunning imagery, enchanting storytelling, and magical music. The Moomin family demonstrate their special values of tolerance, kindness and integrity, as they prepare for their first Christmas – helping us understand what the festive season is really all about.

For ages 3-103

Produced especially for The Moomins 80th anniversary and as part of Jacksons Lane’s 50th birthday programme. Previews take place on the 5th December 2025. 

Accessibility 
This production features captions that are embedded into the design and world of the play. The best seats for captions are rows D-G seats 6-16. For more information on creative captioning, visit creativecaptioning.com.
