Twist at Alford Manor House was formally opened on 22nd September by Sir Andrew Motion, former poet laureate and current chair of the MLA.
It was a glorious English sunny day with afternoon tea on the lawn, live music and corn dolly making under a tree! Sir Andrew read a wonderful and perfectly appropriate poem by Seamus Heaney - The Harvest Bow.
Visit this unique contemporary Summerhouse inspired by the museums collection of local rural artifacts, in particular the corn dollies, at Alford Manor House, Alford, Lincolnshire, LN13 9HT.
Twist is part of the national Museumaker project, connecting museums and their collections with artists, designers and craftspeople. Find out more at http://www.museumaker.com/
