Bringing Alive Sandwich Heritage is a not-for-profit
group of volunteers.
Our membership includes teachers, artists and craftspeople, youth workers and individuals with an
interest in history, heritage and culture.
The BASH committee works alongside community groups and the STARR regeneration
group to deliver projects in the town.
BASH's 2009 autumn concert series featured internationally renowned performers Horses Brawl, Joglaresa
with Sally Pomme Clayton and Chris Wood.
BASH was pleased to support the MAKEY 'DO' in July 2009. People of all ages enjoyed a
day of craft workshops, hands-on activities and handmade goodies. See the page for more details and photos.

Here Be Giants
In 2005, Strange Cargo Arts helped local students
and residents to create a giant processional figure of the fifteenth century
mayor John Drury, and the group 'Big Burghers' of Sandwich was born. Big John has been seen at various events in the
area and was a figurehead for BASH's 1457 celebrations.
A giant wedding took place on the 1st to the 3rd of June 2007, when Big John married his Sandwich sweetheart Elizabeth Short at Leeds Castle. BASH hosted a variety of entertainments at the wedding celebrations over the three days, which were attended
by giant guests Chester the Jester, Torrent of Littlebourne, Flora of Singleton and Lily of Herne Bay.
