Echoes of a Mountain Song – weekend finale
Saturday 23rd April – Sunday 24th April 2016
Our Echoes of a Mountain Song series culminates in a weekend of events exploring the creative freedom found in Northern landscapes. It also marks the 400th anniversary of the death of William Shakespeare on 23rd April, who is rumoured to have spent a period of ‘lost years’ serving wealthy Catholic families in Lancashire. That provides the ideal excuse to open the weekend with a celebration of northern poetry, written by two living Pennine poets and one of the first literary figures to hail from those hills, Emily Brontë.
