This year we are introducing some new features to this delighful event which is free to all members and anyone else interested in taking part.

Our Guest of Honour is Roxanne Burke who represents the younger generation of George Eliot lovers, and therefore the future of the Fellowship.

We are also inviting schools with a George Eliot-associated name: The George Eliot Academy, Middlemarch Junior School, Milby Primary, Whitestone Infants (whose children will say a few words) and, new for this year, Etone College.

After the wreaths are laid, anyone wishing to lay a single flower will be invited to do so.
