Words Out Loud
From the Sea
Words Out Loud’s first themed reading takes place at The Anchor Bleu on the waterfront in Old Bosham village on October 12th at 7:00 pm. (High tide will be at about 4:25 pm). The wonderful setting and the historical (or apocryphal) reference to King Canute led us to choose “The Sea” as the theme for this reading.
We invite you to write something on this theme to read at the evening which will be held in the upstairs room at the Anchor with stunning views over the harbour.
We also welcome anyone to come simply to listen to the readings and enjoy the ambience of this peaceful setting.
This will be a Words Out Loud fundraiser and all donations will be most welcome. There will be a voluntary contribution of £5 to attend this reading.
Food and drink is available at the pub and you are invited to pre-order at 01243 573956. We will take pauses throughout the readings so that food and drink can be brought up.
