![]() You are all welcome join us in Gensing Gardens at 4pm on Friday 1 April to mark the opening of the festival. The Diddakoi book is set in nearby rural Rother and we would love Gensing Gardens to become the home of the first statue of a child of Romany and Irish heritage. We hope that Jake Bowers’ statue of Kizzy will prove popular with local residents and we can apply for planning permission for it to be installed in the park permanently. We were delighted that Councillors Kim Forward, Paul Barnett, Maya Evans and Peter Chowney all attended the launch event. You can see half of Kizzy in this photo with Jake – we don’t want to reveal any more until the launch on Friday! Jake has been commissioned to produce a sculpture of Kizzy Lovell – the main character in The Diddakoi. ![]() This year’s ATEAB festival will begin in Gensing Gardens with a launch event for the local art created by lead artist Emma Harding with ceramicist Martin Brockman and blacksmith Jake Bowers.
