F for Farnham – Launch Event

F for Farnham

University for the Creative Arts and Farnham Town Council invite you to the launch event for F for Farnham, a new audio story walk taking you on a ghostly journey around Surrey’s most haunted town.

About this event

Meet producers Simon Aeppli and Roz Mortimer (Film Department, UCA) as they share with you the first opportunity to experience this ghostly trail around Farnham.

Writer and Director Sophie Austin will introduce you to the stories, characters and hauntings which have inspired this journey and then head out on to the streets and experience this ghost walk on Halloween weekend.

Do not walk alone.

During this self-guided audio walk you will hear ten stories, voiced by Farnham locals and inspired by hauntings that have been experienced in this town over hundreds of years.

You will be invited to consider the layers of history, physical experience and mortal imaginings that make up this town and you’ll be invited to feel the resonance of some Farnham folk who never left.

Do not walk alone.

Bring your charged smartphone, headphones and dress for the unexpected…

pedestrian acts

By de Certeau: In “Walking in the City”, de Certeau conceives pedestrianism as a practice that is performed in the public space, whose architecture and behavioural habits substantially determine the way we walk. For de Certeau, the spatial order “organises an ensemble of possibilities (e.g. by a place in which one can move) and interdictions (e.g. by a wall that prevents one from going further)” and the walker “actualises some of these possibilities” by performing within its rules and limitations. “In that way,” says de Certeau, “he makes them exist as well as emerge.” Thus, pedestrians, as they walk conforming to the possibilities that are brought about by the spatial order of the city, constantly repeat and re-produce that spatial order, in a way ensuring its continuity. But, a pedestrian could also invent other possibilities. According to de Certeau, “the crossing, drifting away, or improvisation of walking privilege, transform or abandon spatial elements.” Hence, the pedestrians could, to a certain extent, elude the discipline of the spatial order of the city. Instead of repeating and re-producing the possibilities that are allowed, they can deviate, digress, drift away, depart, contravene, disrupt, subvert, or resist them. These acts, as he calls them, are pedestrian acts.
