All Saints’ Church, Westbury will be the setting for an evening of words and music as the town’s commemorations marking the 100th anniversary of the end of the First World War draw to a close.
Local author, Jane Russ, is gathering a cast of local musicians and readers to present a programme of both well known and less familiar music, poetry and prose from the period.
Team rector, Revd Rhona Floate said, “This promises to be an engaging, thoughtful and inspiring evening, presented by some of today’s finest local performers, rounding off a week of events across the town in remembrance of those who lived, loved, fought and kept the home fires burning right through to the Armistice.”
The event takes place on Friday 16th November at 7pm. Entry is free, with a retiring collection.
Other events hosted by All Saints’ are The Accrington Pals presented by Apollo Productions on Friday 9th November at 7pm (ticket event) and an exhibition by Westbury Family History Society 10th – 17th November during church daily opening hours.
