Chelsea Literary Week | 30th October- 2nd November 2013

SLOANE SQUARE, U.K. - Oct. 1, 2013 - PRLog -- This October, Sloane Square and the surrounding area (Sloane Street and Pavilion Road) will host a series of literary events to inspire and entertain consumers and bookworms alike. From 30th October – 2nd November the free events will include pop-up poetry, storybook reading, extracts from literary classics and complimentary foodie treats from a quaint hot chocolate station.

Over the course of three days, visitors to the mini-festival will enjoy literary readings by jongleurs in the surrounds of some of London’s most iconic streets. Shoppers can just listen and enjoy or they can get involved with the pop-up poetry, by entering their best-loved poems into a literary ballot box, stationed beside the pop-up poets.  If their poem is chosen it will be read aloud over the course of the day by Chelsea’s bards in residence.

If shoppers are feeling like budding wordsmiths, they can take to the Pavilion Road poetry wall, a magnetised wall in which words can move to create quotes, haikus, laments and lyrics. If relaxing rather than taking part is preferred, shoppers can enjoy a warming hot chocolate as part of a storybook reading for children. Stories will include literary classics such as The Hungry Caterpillar, Charlotte’s Web and The Gruffallo.

The fun can continue at home, as visitors will be given a chance to win a Kindle e-reader as well as daily prizes of Amazon book vouchers. Visitors can enter their name into the draw across stores on Pavilion Road and Sloane Square to be in with a chance to win.
