Dawn Chorus 2011

DAWN CHORUS – created by dawn sky and dewdrops, birdsong and beauty, minstrels and musicians, storytellers and ‘sky-divers’, poets and performers, and celebrated by you!

As the sun rises over sleeping Swindon, join the early-birds high on a ridge in Lawn Woods, for this FREE, all-age outdoor event that marks the start of the eighteenth Swindon Festival of Literature.

Marvel at an array of amazing acts: pipers, singers, storytellers, jugglers, hoopers, high-wire walkers, aerialists, poets, and musicians!

Make new friends, meet old ones, swig a hot cup of coffee or tea, bite an egg or bacon butty, frolic round the maypole, and celebrate Spring.

Come early – that’s 5.30am – or you’ll miss the best bits - this event will start on time – because the sun says so!

Please check the Swindon Festival of Literature website for further information on this event.

Note: Later in the day, Dawn Chorus performers will be visiting people who could not get out, in hospitals, homes, and hostels, thanks to the generosity of Festival supporters…
