Join us on 1 November at 3.00pm at the Milton Keynes Rose, Campbell Park and we’ll lead you all on a literary walk with a difference, when you can hear original local writing to leave your spirits shaken and stirred.In myth and legend – and sometimes in reality too – ancient or mysterious things start to emerge as the sun begins to set. Even in the newest, most modern places, spirits lurk under the surface: our city may be shiny and modern, but the land on which it stands is as old as the planet itself.
For this special literary walk in partnership with Milton Keynes City Council's Look Again project, we’ll be visiting some of public art pieces of Central Milton Keynes and Campbell Park, and we’re inviting local writers to send us their poems and short stories on a suitable spooky, paranormal, spirit-invoking theme that are inspired by one of the following titles:
The Labyrinth
Chain Reaction
The Cave
The Beacon (Light Pyramid)
Circle Dance
The Head
Dangerous Liaisons
Submit your writing through our online form on our website by 16 October, and we’ll let selected authors know by 23 October. Pieces will be read on the day at the site of the artwork whose name has inspired them.
Selected submissions may also be considered for inclusion in the Festival's Raising Voices StoryMap, curating poems, short stories and creative non-fiction inspired by specific places in the city.
Please bear in mind that you will be on public footpaths outdoors, and that suitable clothing and footwear should be worn. Please also note that some parts of the route include quite steep upward and downward slopes.
