The Lure and Lore of
the Limerick

Monday 14th December 2020  7.30 pm
An online Zoom event

Local historian Ruth Hazeldine examines the origins and enduring appeal of the ‘nonsense poetry’ popularised by Edward Lear. Attendees at the event are encouraged to bring their own contributions, whether original or not.

To book click here. You will be asked to make a small donation to the Highgate Society.

To accompany the talk, there is a competition for original limericks on the subject of  ‘Highgate and Highgate personalities’ or the current Covid-related situation (‘and’, says Ruth, ‘keep it clean!). Prizes will be awarded for the three best entries. The closing date is December 31st. Entries  should be submitted by email to highgateevents@gmail.com and include a contact email address or phone number.
