Our guest writer and entertainer will be Mike Barfield: comedy writer, humorist, cartoonist and creator of the Apparently... cartoon series in Private Eye magazine. He is also the author of the highly amusing book: 'This Septic Isle'.
The morning workshops will cost £3.00 and this will allow early visitors to tour the house and grounds. Those who arrive after 12.00 noon will pay the normal entry fee of £5.20 (£2.60 for children) and the poetry activities will be included in that price.

The event has now passed and it was a success. I would like to use this space to congratulate all those who took part in it and who worked so hard to make it a success, including Shaw's Corner's staff and management. Thanks to Mike Barfield who entertained the children so well and thanks to the members of Ver Poets for taking part. A good day was made even better. The weather was brilliant too.
