A celebration of National Short Story Day, of the Winter Solstice (Shortest day of the year, 21st December), and of the narrative power of folk music; bringing together story, poetry and song on the theme of Time, on the Greenwich Meridian – where better? (and now across the UK and into Europe!)

Is this where I can leave an expression of interest? If so, this is a great expression of interest!
Sounds great – poised to dip and dive through past and present…
Sounds a great idea & the time is right.

Although I am a Londoner born and bred, I haven’t been to Greenwich since I was a child. My great aunt lived in Lewisham and she and my nan used to take me to Greenwich regularly. I live in Norfolk now and only occasionally manage to get down to visit my daughter in Clapham. I would love to attend Solstice Shorts but can’t afford the train fare at the moment. Will you be posting photos and videos of the event?
Hi Kim
yes we will be videoing and recording the whole thing – rather relying on the audience to photograph as I can’t manage photos video and hosting all in one go! Expect videos up on youtube in January some time.
best wishes
Cherry
