The Bridport Literary Festival 2018

On the day that the church bells rang again for the first time in four years and the Town Hall clock was re-started and the bands played out loud, the people of Bridport flocked together to give thanks in meeting places
all around the town. The Bridport News of 11 November 1918.

“… practically everybody took holiday, for it will be marked throughout the land for ages to come as the day which brought with it the greatest blessing to mankind …”

Margie and Debra have put together a lively and original entertainment of songs, poems and reflections with a mixture of literary and historical elements on how Bridport reacted to the end of The Great War.
