Like so many events the annual summer festival was cancelled, but the Petworth team have pulled the rabbit from the hat and are poised to present a sequence of events that feature top drawer line-ups, from both the music and literary worlds from 16th October to 1st November.
The undoubted musician-of-the-moment, cellist Sheku Kanneh-Mason and his equally lauded sister, pianist Isata, guitarist MILOŠ, and jazz singers Patti Boulaye and Clare Teal, bring their music to the beautiful St Mary’s Church over an initial week.
Whilst in the second week, the focus falls on the literary world and features top authors William Boyd, Anthony Horowitz and Joanna Trollope, as well as acclaimed journalist James Naughtie and ‘War Horse’ author, Michael Morpurgo.
All events will be streamed online and aim to recreate as much of a live experience as possible, with real-time Q&A sessions as well as small invited audiences, to ensure a level of ambience that will make a huge difference to the performers.
Booking is available 24/7 from 17th September. For more details visit www.petworthfestival.org.uk
