Commemorative evening of talks and music for Armistice Day

In preparation for next year's centenary of the start of World War I, local company Kirker Holidays has invited war historians Dr Neil Faulkner, Hugh Macdonald-Buchanan and Peter Parker to talk about several aspects of the war.

After the talks there will be a song recital by tenor Joshua Ellicott and pianist Simon Lepper, including songs by Ireland, Finzi, Bridge and Mahler and readings from letters sent home by Joshua's great uncle Jack who was killed in the Somme aged 21.

A donation will be made to the Royal British Legion for each ticket sold.
