Michael Morpurgo to visit Winchester Cathedral
Winchester Cathedral will play host to children’s author, Michael Morpurgo, for a one-off event on Monday, December 14. He will be narrating a dramatisation of one of his best-selling titles, On Angel Wings, and will be joined by the actress, Juliet Stevenson.
On Angel Wings tells the story of how a young shepherd boy becomes the first to see the new-born baby Jesus.
Proceeds from the event, which starts at 7pm, will go jointly to the cathedral’s mission and ministry and to Farms for City Children.
Tickets cost £10 for adults and £5 for under-16s, and can be bought from the cathedral box office in the visitors’ centre. Alternatively, call 01962 857275 or visit www.winchester-cathedral.org.uk.
Honoured with an MBE in 1999 then Children’s Laureate from 2003-2005 and recipient of an OBE in 2006, Morpurgo is also a patron of countless charities, and in 1976 began, with his wife, the Farms For City Children charity which aims to relieve the experience of poverty in inner cities and urban areas by giving children the opportunity to live and work on a real farm for a week.
