Martin Newell with The Hosepipe Band join us to open the Festival with a performance of The Green Children and Other Poems.

‘The Green Children’, Martin’s most recent epic poem, tells the story of two children of ‘unusual skin colour’ who reportedly appeared in the village of Woolpit in Suffolk in the 12th century. This and three other shorter poems are accompanied by original music composed by members of The Hosepipe Band.

Join us for fizz and canapés at this exciting launch event!
