The start of a 10-year adventure.
This is an online event hosted on the British Library platform. Bookers will be sent a link in advance giving access .
“I want to celebrate the physical space of libraries and take my work back into places that have given me so much.”
Each spring for the next decade, Simon Armitage will give readings across the UK, from the flagship libraries of the big cities to smaller libraries serving rural and remote communities. Using the alphabet as a compass, his journey will celebrate the library as one of the great and necessary institutions. Join us online in the first week of his 10-year adventure for this headline event live-streamed from the grand British Library Entrance Hall.
