Literary Dinner
The concluding dinner on the last evening has become a feature of the Workshop; a chance to relax with new friends and unwind after the pressures of the week. The venue is chosen for its literary or artistic significance, as well as for its pleasing ambiance and good food. Readings and literary games stimulate the mind as well as the palate. Bon appetit!
