Lit Your Lips - Literary Dinner

Ashby Arts Festival, in conjunction with performance poetry organisation, Apples & Snakes, presents Lorna Meehan and Marvin Cheeseman as treats you can have between meals (or courses at least!).

This uniquely literary flavoured dinner takes place at Ashby de la Zouch and features Marvin Cheeseman, a fantastic stand up poet and comedian, whose work includes ‘Pomagne Supernova’ and the legendary ‘Crisps’.

Marvin is partnered by Leicester’s Lorna Meehan, rising star of the performance poetry scene with a self-confessed premature Bridget Jones complex.

Throw in a sumptuous, three course meal and licensed bar and you have guaranteed entertainment on a plate!
