Stratford-upon-Avon Literary Festival
Today sees the start of the annual literary festival in Stratford-upon-Avon. Running until Monday, 3rd May, this year’s festival promises a feast of author events, workshops, exhibitions, discussions, and events especially designed for children and young people.
Highlights include An Evening with Jack Dee, afternoon tea with Wendy Cope, and a panel discussion with Jonathan Miller C.B.E. and Charles Dance O.B.E., sadly the tickets for An Evening with Felix Denis are all sold out.
Throughout the festival there will be an exhibition of the work of veteran BBC photographer Willoughby ‘Gus’ Gullachsen at the Civic Hall. His images of Stratford, taken over the last 20 years, will be displayed alongside recent images taken by students of Stratford College and Welcombe Hills School, and commissioned by the Festival.
