FEATURE ............................. Place and time A time travel treasure hunt for Our Place “No place is ever boring,” says Jon Mason (pictured). “Wherever you live you know that something has happened there, something that has led to the design of the streets and the names they’ve been given. People will have lived there before you – and will live there after you.” As a professional storyteller, Jon is fascinated by how events of the past impact on the present and the future of specific landscapes, and how we tell those tales; the blurry line, he says, between fact and fantasy. Last year he retold Brighton’s past through a treasure trail at the Open Market. Visitors were encouraged to go from stall to stall to pick up clues and learn about the colourful heritage of the city. In May, as part of the Brighton Festival, he will be doing something similar in Hangleton. Children and their accompanying adults will be able to discover more about the local buildings, street names and former residents through the Time Travel Treasure Hunt that starts at Hangleton Community Centre. But it’s more than a history tour. Jon, who often incorporates myths and legends in his storytelling, says: “We’re imagining that Magnus Volk, the inventor of the Volk’s Railway in Brighton, also created a time machine that’s been lost and shattered across time. “Meanwhile a local villain – based on a real person in Brighton’s history – is trying to find the pieces to put it together. So we’ll be travelling through history, from the old fishing community to Regency Brighton, maybe even to the 1960s Mods and Rockers and beyond, to try to stop him.” The event, part of the Our Place community celebration in Hangleton, has also had input from academics and undergraduate students from the University of Sussex’s History Department. Jon, who studied for a Masters in History at Sussex, says: “The students do a final-year project that has to be public facing, so last year they helped me to create content for the Brighton Open Market. This year, not only will they do it again, they’ll also produce material that audiences can access digitally through their devices.” The plan is that, in addition to being enthralled by the excitement of the storytelling, audiences can learn about local landmarks, such as St Helen’s Church (reputed to be the oldest building in Brighton), and an old train track that used to take visitors from Brighton to Devil’s Dyke. “I have always loved history, and did it as an undergraduate degree many years ago in Wales,” says Jon. “The great thing about studying for the MA at Sussex was being reminded that history isn’t only written by academics and historians. We can all gather it, we can all write it. History is simply about people’s experiences.” Jacqui Bealing Time Travel Treasure Hunt is on 25 May and begins and ends at Hangleton Community Centre. The duration is 90 mins. Recommended for ages 6-12, accompanied by an adult. Our Place is sponsored by the University of Sussex. jonthestoryteller.com ....93....
