Warning: this is not a conference for the built environment. If you come to Pattern Festival 2024 expecting a standard industry experience, you won’t get one. We aim to entertain, inform, inspire and surprise you. Our placemaking event is a festival, not a conference. We’ve deliberately chosen to call it that. What makes it a festival? We’ve got a varied lineup of guest speakers, panellists and presenters, many of whom you wouldn’t normally associate with the built environment. We want to move the dial, celebrate grassroots activity and put progressive placemaking firmly on the agenda. Why don’t you join us? Pattern Festival 2024 is on 19 June, at x+why, Victoria Embankment, Manchester. Tickets are on sale now. Limited availability. www.patternfest.com

Discover the Magic of the Terre Haute Night Market! Have you ever wondered what makes a community come alive after the sun sets?

It's where the heartbeat of Terre Haute amplifies, showcasing the incredible talent and diversity we have to offer. Interactive Question: If you could add one new feature or attraction to the Terre Haute Night Market to make it even more unforgettable, what would it be?

Your suggestion might just be the next big hit at the Night Market. #TerreHauteNightMarket #CommunitySpirit #LocalCulture #InteractiveQuestion #LetsDiscuss

Why It Matters

Over the past few days, we have seen 80th anniversary D-Day commemorations across the country and worldwide. We have witnessed elements of reenactment, used to highlight the many sacrifices that were made and share a glimpse of what life was like at that time. D-Day was a pivotal moment in World War II “The D-Day landings of 6 June 1944 was the largest seaborne invasion in history” (Royal British Legion, 2024) liberating Western Europe and marking the beginning of the end of the Second World War. This year’s D-Day commemorations were even more poignant, as it will likely be the last major anniversary in which original D-Day veterans will participate. Those of you who have watched just some of the activities over the past few days will have heard original stories of D-Day veterans, shared to educate the generations to come, with the words ‘we will remember’ echoed by so many. With this in mind, we are pleased to share this timely piece of work that really pushes the importance of ‘events’ and storytelling to help us commemorate such historic occasions, keeping history alive. Published in the Event Management Journal, special issue below “Presenting an Authentic Reflection of the Past Through Storytelling and Living History in 1940s Events”, by Zoe Leonard and Dr. Julie Whitfield of Bournemouth University Business School. Abstract:  Live events that replicate the 1940s era celebrate the heritage of a defining moment in history. This research presents the results of a study examining authenticity, storytelling, and living history in the context of 1940s events in the UK. The research demonstrates how storytelling and living history intensify the authentic nature of the event, depicting a true reflection of the past and facilitating a collective memory of the era. Through online semi-structured interviews with event organisers and attendees of 1940s events, the findings confirm that organisers feel a sense of cultural duty to tell an accurate story to the best of their abilities. This is supported through living history as presented by reenactment groups. They provide elements of the three concepts of authenticity: objectivism, constructivism, and existentialism. Reenactors provide historically accurate detail and speak with authority, generating what is perceived to be an authentic level of engagement.
