We’re delighted to announce the line-up of our 2023 Festival, to take place in Millom and Haverigg from Friday June 30th to Sunday July 2nd.
The Festival will be headlined by the award-winning author and Writer in Residence at Lancaster University KAREN LLOYD, and also includes the director and cast of the Nicholson-inspired short film SHADOW OF THE MOUNTAIN, Cumbria’s outstanding folk singer and composer STEVE WHARTON, the poets KATE DAVIS and MIKE SMITH, and artist and designer ALAN ROPER.
There’ll also be the chance to visit Norman Nicholson’s lifelong home and take part in a study session in the very room where he wrote many of his poems, plus a guided walk to Nicholson locations.
All events are free except for the Saturday evening event at the Beggar’s Theatre.
