Paintings by Anna Dillon and Poems by Jonathan Davidson.

Downland, is a new book of paintings and poems by artist Anna Dillon and writer Jonathan Davidson. They have each known the Downs from Wiltshire up into Berkshire and Oxfordshire for most of their lives, and the book is a creative guidebook to the most popular stretch of the Ridgeway National Trail, including where it passes above Wantage. This event will include short readings, a chance to enjoy projections of some of the paintings in a larger format, and a conversation about what happens when poetry meets painting.

This event will be followed by an informal chat and book signing. Books will be available to purchase on the day from Anna and Jonathan.

Tickets £7.50

Must be booked in advance online here or pop into the museum.
