Cabinet of Curiosities Ep. 1 – “The Freedom of Being a Niche Artist”

I’ve never needed a record label to tell me what to write.
The freedom to create on my own terms, that’s what keeps me inspired.
My songs and stories come from the same place: imagination, self-discipline, and a bit of madness.

Update - you’ve blown us away….

We aim to have some news by the weekend….!

Wondering...

We have been approached by an interested party who would like to take on organising the Mind, Body, Spirit branch of our Events - these events have however, been retired for some years.

The question for you all....

Would you like a large, well-organised market in the picturesque City of Ely featuring a blend of our much loved traders, readers AND therapists offering a range of modalities?

We need to know there is an appetite....

So the question is, shall we have a Soul and Serenity - Mind, Body and Spirit Fayre in 2026?!

Busy day….

Steel City Update

Though I will retain executive oversight, it is the plan that the Steel City Pagan and Alternative Fayres will be curated by…..

Amy Snow

You might remember her as the woman who dresses to impress at our events and has come down to Ely a few times and was instrumental in steering Damien and I through the first Steel City Fayre.

Her vision, her Fayre…. With me still sticking my nose in because I’m not going to completely let go obviously!

I will be going through the allocation with Amy in the next few weeks and emails will come from her.

I will obviously still be there, hanging about and being a nuisance but the plan is, was and will always be that these Fayres will be entrusted to one of my most trusted!

Until then? Just wait!

Maybe it’ll free up time for me to bring back the MBS style events we used to do in Ely…..?! Don’t hold your breath…

Confirmation Updates

We are very nearly done on the Ely allocations! Only winter left to be brought but Chief Ankh is having a moment of rest….

Then once we’ve done with that, our attention turns to Sheffield and the next Steel City Fayre!

You can still apply for that here https://form.jotform.com/252004988157361

The decisions for that are being made by the head of the Northern Branch with input from myself.

Emails for that, I anticipate, will appear next weekend!

One of those rare posts…..

This isn’t about one of our events, or about one of our incredible trading family…. Nope this one is a passion post from the Chief Ankh-er

Sometimes we come across things in life that ignite something in the mind and the soul, sometimes we have a chance encounter and you end up saying “this is something I want to get behind!”

That happened at the summer Fayre in Ely - the team met Tom, an aspiring film maker with a project focused on a very particular part of Fen Folklore that I adore - The Lantern Men!

I then thought “I do wish Kit from the Fear in the Fens festival was here…” off Tom went and 5 minutes later Kit appeared…. Thankfully Tom was hanging about under a bridge and was able to come back.

Amber Ankh Events was born on a wing and a prayer and you can support Tom and his project here -

The Lantern Man: a folklore horror short about isolation, the allure of the night & the eerie beauty of the fenlands. Help bring ᚳᛗ to life
