Join us on the evening of the Midwinter Solstice for a special evening of new writing - both poetry and short fiction - that explores the theme of A Dream for Midwinter.

You'll hear a selection of readings from local poets and story-writers who've created new pieces especially for the occasion. Will they focus on the chill and the frost? Will they delight in the joys of what some call 'the festive season'? Will they offer hot toddies and warm hearths, or shrugs and humbugs?

There's only one way to find out...
