Join Much Ado for their third annual Leonard & Vir

Join Much Ado for their third annual Leonard & Virginia Woolf Tea and help them to mark a seminal moment in Bloomsbury Group history.

Alfriston doesn’t play a large part in the history of the Bloomsbury Group. But our village does have a walk-on role (so to speak): On September 18, Leonard Woolf and Virginia Stephen walked from Firle to Alfriston and enjoyed tea – without (shocking!) a chaperon.

Leonard and Virginia became a remarkable power couple, influencers of their time who brokered power, swayed opinion, changed the course of literature, and touched innumerable lives.

To mark the occasion of their walk, we like to gather with other Woolf readers and fans for a relaxed teatime chat. Not an academic gathering; rather, a chance for casual readers as well as established Woolf fans to exchange thoughts, share their appreciation and generally celebrate the legacy of that moment.

Join us at 3 PM on Thursday 18 September, at The Star – it seems to us entirely plausible that the couple may have enjoyed their tea here. The Star will have their afternoon menu available for you to order tea, light nibbles if you like, and perhaps something stronger.

The £4 charge includes a special memento we’ll make for participants. Book via the link in our bio ✨ @muchadobooks @thepolizzicollection #thestaralfriston #thepolizzicollection #alfriston #southdowns #eastsussex #alexpolizzi #olgapolizzi #charliepolizzi
