Our 13 week picnic marathon started on Friday 13 April, we’ll be visiting a haunted location every Friday until Friday 13 July 2018. Each week we set off armed with sound recording equipment, digital cameras and an original Polaroid camera – to take an unfakeable and unique Polaroid image at each location.
Our final event for the project brought together a group of friends to enjoy a feast of 13 in the garden. We decided that trying to get exactly 13 guests to commit and actually all turn up was a stress we could avoid so decided not to try and invited more. Slowly over the week before the event, our guests dropped out, one decided to bring another, our numbers were uncertain but no problem. By mid afternoon on the day we did of course end up with 13 of us!
We had a fantastic feast of 13 with a range of our favourite dishes from the picnics as well as a few more for the day and a couple of contributions from our guests.
Our collection of Polaroid photographs from the picnics went on to be exhibited in Bara Menyn, Bakehouse in Cardigan.
