Voewood Festival

This year sees the first Voewood Festival.

The event, described as the literary garden party of the year, takes place over the weekend of 27th to 29th August at a house in High Kelling, voted the best in the region in this year's England Favourite House Awards.

Amongst the weekend's numerous highlights are appearances by historian Dan Cruickshank, Man Booker prize winner DBC Pierre, ex-MI5 boss Sir John Scarlett, plus The King's Speech authors Mark Logue and Peter Conradi.

Musical highlights include Beth Orton, David McAlmont, Glen Matlock and Adam Ant.

Following the Remembrance Sunday service this morning, and the completion of the Memorial Gardens Restoration Project, Bethel Street is now open as usual.

NWC members and visitors parking their cars at The Forum, can now do so via St Giles Street and Bethel Street.

For other parking options, please visit norwichwriters.org.uk.

Summer Social

On the hottest day of the year so far, in the Sprowston garden of one of the group's longest-serving members, Norwich Writers' Circle held its annual Summer Social.

The social, which featured a buffet and raffle, proved popular with over 25 NWC members being able to attend. This afternoon, which was very laid back and relaxed, gave the opportunity for members to socialise ahead of our forthcoming Summer break.

We next meet on the 6th July - the last time before our regular seasonal break - for the yearly Prize Giving Evening & AGM.

We hope to see you next time.
