About this Event
Performers: Michael Morpurgo and Clare O’Connell
Join one of Britain’s favourite storytellers, Michael Morpurgo, for a spellbinding evening of words and music exploring our deep connection to the natural world.
Through a journey across land and sea, Michael celebrates the vibrant beauty of our planet and our shared responsibility to protect it. Featuring readings from the Carnival of the Animals, A Song of Gladness and Driftwood, his evocative stories are beautifully interwoven with music by cellist Clare O’Connell.
Full of humour, energy and emotion, the acclaimed writer’s inspiring performances are always a highlight of the Festival programme. Come along and rediscover the wonder of the wild with Michael, our Festival Patron, at this very special family concert.
Suitable for ages 8+.
