Josie Long: Now Is the Time of Monsters
A new show about extinct gigantic, charismatic, megafauna from 3-time Edinburgh Comedy Award Nominated Comedian, and very good comedian Josie Long. In these troubled times, in this wicked world, it can feel like apocalypse is everywhere but did you know 11,000 years ago there were some really big armadillos? I’m talking about as big as a car. Really big. And they were vegetarian so don’t even worry about them. Also my daughter has a hamster and I’m not saying distract yourself from everything, but I’m saying he’s also part of everything. Josie is back with a new show about discovery, wonder, extinction and how to walk through a landscape of monstrous disaster. There is also a good tip about silt, guaranteed.

Guided Walk

Solastalgia: Climate Grief

4 Jul 2025 - 4 Jul 2025

A guided walk with Dr. Micah Mackay Join us for an immersive exploration of Solastalgia—the deep ache of a changing world—through movement, observation, and collaborative creation. As we wander the shores of Loch na Keal, we’ll attune ourselves to the quiet details: the shifting light on water, the whisper of reeds, the imprint of absence. Using our phones, we will record fragments of the landscape—glimpses of a fluid, ever-changing landscape. Then, together, we will weave a living poem, layering personal reflection with the textures of this place, giving voice to loss, resilience, and the uncertain beauty of now. After our journey, the collected footage will be transformed into a short film, a poetic testament to the moment we shared. MEETING POINT: Campsite at Loch na Keal WHAT3WORDS: acid.serenade.this Lift-sharing is encouraged—we’re happy to help connect those without transport.
