Words In Motion
Come and chill in the new Words in Motion quiet area by the lake…This year, the Words in Motion area and tent will be styled by Livingetc, the homes magazine for modern living, so there will be lots of comfy loungers, deckchairs and big cushions kindly borrowed from Habitat, chalk boards for your creativity and free books (!) very kindly donated by Little Brown, Pimlico and Vintage, Penguin Classics, Hodder and Stoughton and Headline Publishing Group.
There will also be lots of scrabble boards for the competitive types and boules and croquet on the lawn for the more quietly energetic lot.
Plus, with your help John Hegley will be putting our lovely chalk boards to good use on Saturday and you get a chance to read your creations along with other festival goer poets, musers, rappers and singers later on Saturday afternoon at the Open Mic sessions…
