Annual T S ELIOT FESTIVAL</h1>
<h2>Little Gidding Saturday 17 July 2010</h2>
<big>The Fifth Annual T S Eliot Festival at Little Gidding will take
place on Saturday 17 July 2010.</big><br>
<br>
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.<br>
<br>
Brief details of the day are below, and for further details of the
speakers and poets see the <a

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