The event will feature the renowned author Mark Haddon (āThe Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-timeā); readings by award-winning writer Pat Winslow, with music from around the world with Arne Richards (accordion) and Isabel Knowland (violin) interspersed with poems or passages about the experience of exile and subsequent healing. The organisers are also delighted to be welcoming several refugees, whose poems have been published and who will read a selection of their work.
The performance will take place in the lovely Romanesque church of Iffley, and will be followed by refreshments in Church Hall close by. There should be ample parking in the area next to the church or in the street leading up to it through the village.
