Ways With Words at Southwold
Southwold Festival:
6 - 10 November 2008
Each November
Ways With Words runs a literature festival in the lovely seaside
resort of Southwold, Suffolk - a popular retreat for artists and
writers over the years.
The festival
makes an ideal escape from the stress and strain of daily life,
a time to engage with books and ideas in the most comfortable of
settings.
Besides imbibing
the literary atmosphere you can relax with excellent wine and beers
at Adnams' Hotels, be blown on the beach beside the rough winter
sea, buy fresh fish from the harbour, visit the impressive St. Edmund's
church with its Southwold Jack, walk along the newly opened pier
or just relax with a book in the comfort of The Swan or The Crown.
Please note
that tickets for the events at this festival can be booked by phone
(01803 867373) or by post.
