[Ely Events] T S Eliot Festival at Little Gidding: 17 July 2010

  Fifth Annual T S ELIOT FESTIVAL


    Little Gidding Saturday 17 July 2010

The Fifth Annual T S Eliot Festival at Little Gidding will take place on 
Saturday 17 July 2010.

The Festival is a major literary celebration of the life and work of 
Nobel Prize winning writer Thomas Stearns Eliot (1888--1965). Last 
year's Festival was an outstanding success, and this year promises to be 
just as good. We are delighted to welcome again visitors from the T S 
Eliot International Summer School to a programme of talks, discussions 
and readings that offer the opportunity for festival-goers to share 
their interests and enthusiasms amidst the splendid setting of Little 
Gidding.

Brief details of the day are below, and for further details of the 
speakers and poets see the programme 
<http://www.littlegidding.org.uk/eliotfestival2010/programme>.

Tickets for the day are £25, including welcome drink, lunch, and 
afternoon tea.
