Dorchester War Poetry Conference

Dorchester War Poetry Conference

With the drums of war beating ever louder, what better time to explore the human cost of war, listening to the voices of those that lived through times of war and often, experienced it for themselves?

The Thomas Hardy Society is joining forces with other literary groups to give a stage to the words of some extraordinary writers: Thomas Hardy, T.E. Lawrence, Siegfried Sassoon and Edward Thomas, and discuss how they expressed themselves through the darkest days of war.

Participating organisations are:

Thomas Hardy Society
T.E. Lawrence Society
Siegfried Sassoon Fellowship
Edward Thomas Fellowship
The War Poets’ Association

Each group has a manned table at the event to provide additional information

Weekend and Saturday Tickets are available
The Remembrance Concert is included in the Weekend Ticket or can be booked separately
Member Discounts for all participating societies
