The English Spring in Hastings

Have you seen The English Spring at Hastings Museum yet?

It’s been wonderful to display Paul Spooners new automaton. You’ll be mesmerised by the 100 beautifully carved wooden figures, each one evoking their own story and accompanied by working organ pipes . We are planning a UK tour so watch out for posts about future venues. You have until 🗓 Sunday 29 August to see it at @hastings_museum alongside the rest of the automata in the Ingenious Contraptions exhibition, don’t forget to book your ticket
