For the closing night of this year’s festival prepare for a thrilling adventure into the dark, twisted world of Alfred Hitchcock.
Walking a thin line between hilarity and horror, Hitch! was created by a troupe of international circus and cabaret artists, veterans of NoFit State Circus and the underground live art scene of London.
The audience is terrorised and tantalised as bizarre acts delve into the extraordinary mind of ‘The Master of Suspense’.
Basically, we’re seeing off the festival with a huge, peculiar, slightly terrifying but definitely awesome circus cabaret. Hang around afterwards for a late bar, cocktail concoctions and some post-show performances to die for…

Mondays @ the Mills: Women and revolution from the bluestockings to Virginia Woolf |
|||
18 September 2017
In an exciting and engaging lecture illustrated by contemporary cartoons, Highgate’s Head of History and Foundation Historian Dr Benjamin Dabby will draw upon his ground-breaking research into the culture of Britain’s ‘long nineteenth century’ to overturn the conventional account that women were confined to the domestic sphere and excluded from public life. In revealing a world in which public debate about the progress of the nation was shaped increasingly by women, he will show how women’s and men’s gendered identities were as hotly debated then as they are today. Dr Dabby’s latest book: Women as Public Moralists in Britain has been published recently by the Royal Historical Society, and copies will be on sale for £30. Talks take place on Mondays at 7pm in the AV Room in the Mills Centre. Refreshments, including wine, are available from 6.30 pm and afterwards. |

Friends of the Highgate Roman Kiln – Michael Hammerson and Nick Peacey – will tell you about its remarkable discovery in 1969 in Highgate Woods, how it was lifted out of the ground and divided for safekeeping at Bruce Castle Museum and the hut in Highgate Woods; and their mission to reunite it in its original location. Find out also how local people have tried to recreate the way it worked.
Stay on after for refreshments before the next talk.

On Saturday we will learn the Five Element theory in connection with the planet and plant energetics.
The Sunday will be focussed on a simple yin/yang diagnosis, the energetics of foods as well as making a diagnosis to choose ingredients for. Whilst it is not compulsory we do encourage attendees to come for both days.
