Members of the STW Society are looking forward to this historic moment in the heart of Dorchester.
The ceremony will take place on Sunday, 14th December at 1pm sharp, outside Goulds Fashion Store (what3words: ///ratio.rugs.clauses)
This is a free public celebration, but please book through Eventbrite to give the organisers an idea of numbers.
Sylvia’s statue will be unveiled by Visible Women UK patron, internationally best-selling author Tracy Chevalier.
Expect a warm and spirited celebration featuring speeches and poetry readings from Dorset’s finest writers, dignitaries and long-standing admirers of Sylvia Townsend Warner. A vibrant gathering of those inspired by her remarkable life, work, and legacy.
It’s Dorchester’s Christmas Cracker Day, so the town will be lively – please allow extra time for parking and crowds.
Join us to share the moment, raise a cheer, and help honour one of Dorset’s most important literary voices.
