For those who are lucky enough to live in or have access to the South West of England this month, there’s an exciting Hughes-related event taking place as part of the Simonsbath Festival. On Wednesday 22nd May 2019 at 19.30 in St Luke’s Church, Simonsbath, Roger Furniss - a friend of Hughes’s from the Devonian fishing community - will give a talk on Hughes’s love of the rivers of Devon, fishing and on the current conservation efforts on these rivers.
To read more about the event - which will also feature a reading of some of Hughes’s poetry, please see the event listing where you can also purchase tickets.
