About the Alternative Audio Tour…
‘Mark Peter Wright has spent time this Summer making recordings in some of the peninsula’s less obvious locations, to bring you a guided walk with a difference. The purpose of the tour is to immerse and enhance your experience of particular rooms, corridors and spaces within Landguard Fort, in relation to its history, architecture and surrounding natural environment.’ [CLICK HERE]
About OLP…
‘On Landguard Point [OLP] is a project about HOME. It explores how in the East of England we construct our diverse notions of home, what home means to each of us, and what it means to host others in our home. OLP is also a series of extraordinary live large-scale outdoor events and activities, through 2011, engaging thousands of people as participants and audience across the East of England. These events collectively form the content of a new film cycle which will be premiered in 2012.’ [CLICK HERE]
