You do not need a finished performance to take part in Sound Assembly. A few words, an everyday object or an unexpected noise can be the beginning. We will listen to one another and discover what happens when stories and sounds meet. Spooky Sounds and Stories takes place on Wednesday 28th October at 4pm, creating material for Radio Lear's Halloween broadcast on Saturday 31st October from 9pm.

Bring a tale to tell, a sound to share or something that makes the familiar feel strange. Wednesday 28th October, 4pm. Our Halloween broadcast follows on Radio Lear, Saturday 31st October from 9pm. radiolear.uk/

A scrape behind a door. A rattle in an empty room. Footsteps that stop when you stop. What ordinary object could make an unsettling sound?

We will listen, experiment and help make a shared haunting for Radio Lear's Halloween broadcast, Saturday 31st October from 9pm.
