This three-day digital event (1st-3rd October) takes the life and work of Edward Thomas and expands and explores not only his own literary work but how he has inspired others, his love of nature and his sense of place and belonging.

With over 20 renowned poets, writers, and academics taking part, including: Daljit Nagra, Kathryn Bevis, Matthew Hollis, Imtiaz Dharker, the Robert Frost Society and featuring ‘Two poets in conversation: Michael Longley and Andrew Motion’, it is going to be a series of events not to be missed.

After most of the sessions there will be an opportunity to join in a live Q&A with the participants.

Festival sessions will be ticketed and then accessed through Facebook, Youtube, Zoom, Twitter and much more with events and sessions planned for all platforms!

Whilst there will be no formal charge for attending events, donations will be gratefully received and if made via Petersfield Museum they are eligible for Gift Aid. As booking is being undertaken through Eventbrite a minimum donation of £1 per event is required to meet their minimum criteria.
