There’s an event there called Mechanics Alive which involves the infamous Hunkin and I reckon is worth a visit.  Has anyone seen it? Here is the summary…

6 August - 10 September
Cabaret Mechanical Theatre presents Mechanics Alive!!
Ron Fuller, Michael Howard, Tim Hunkin, Peter Markey, Keith Newstead, Paul Spooner and Carlos Zapata

This summer the Gallery will be alive with the sound of clicking cogs, cranks and cams. Cabaret Mechanical Theatre’s collection of automata blend art, technology and philosophy to create mechanical sculptures with a wry sense of humour, individuality and an offbeat view of life. The exhibition reveals how automata work illustrated by original and new pieces by leading artists including Tim Hunkin and Ron Fuller who live in Suffolk. Visitors are encouraged to interact with the show and can make their own automata at the Gallery. The Gallery shop will be selling a selection of automata kits, books and videos to amuse and distract all ages.
