Saturday 3^rd September 2011

Gorsedd Gardens, Cardiff centre

12 noon – 12.30 pm

Part community event, part visual and aural happening, part celebration of written and spoken word – and a whole lot of fun!

Choose a favourite book you’d like to share aloud, and bring it a little before 12 midday, Saturday 3rd September to the stone circle in Gorsedd Gardens, the busy little park opposite National Museum of Wales’ main entrance.  Then find yourself a space and begin reading aloud - everyone at the same time - as the City Hall clock finishes striking 12, for as long or as briefly as you like, until 12.30 chimes.  

Create points of calmness and concentration amongst the bustle of Mardi Gras and shopping - people standing still amongst pedestrians, mentally concentrating not diverted, a steady rhythm of voices and words amongst the chaotic sounds of traffic and entertainment. 

Everyone welcome to join in!

Bring a bright umbrella too, if it's raining, and make a very individual contribution to the general atmosphere and fun of Mardi Gras weekend!

The more readers taking part the better, so please pass this on to everyone who’d be interested.  

Looking forward to seeing you Saturday 3rd, 12 noon!
