Beautiful mist rolled over the downs this morning on our way to Tilton House, Sussex where a fascinating ‘Reading Weekend’ is set to take place 18th- 20th February with Damian Barr as salonierre and author Geoff Dyer as special guest.
After cups of tea and chatting with Polly and Shaun we hung a selection of works by Ellen Bell, Eberhard Ross and Marco Crivello to be admired and to inspire visitors arriving for the weekend, many of whom are from abroad. Round the corner from Charleston, Tilton House is steeped in history and was once the home of John Maynard Keynes and his wife, the Russian ballerina, Lydia Lopokova. Thought to be one of the most influential economists of the twentieth century Keynes had an incredible portfolio career as director of the Bank of England, a patron of the arts and instrumental in setting up the Arts Council and as part of the Bloomsbury Group of intellectuals.
For Creative Writing and Reading Weekends this wonderful Georgian House is the perfect spot for quiet contemplation.For details of forthcoming workshops visit this page
