Hilaire Belloc Day is on Saturday 1 March, with an afternoon of eating, drinking, singing, walking and then more drinking and singing. Leave that out of your diary if you can!
Somewhere in the middle of all that, Chris Hare will be talking to the assembled multitude about Belloc's poetry. He won't be leading the walk this year though. Detailed arrangements for the day are on the special Belloc Day page.
Not an event to be missed, methinks
Should you wish to explore further, you might find Belloc's Wikipedia page to be of interest.

"At Beechwood Hall, where I do drink
Chris Hare would have my poor brain think
Of erstwhile times - and make the link
to the Downs in years gone by .....
We learned how Belloc liked to write
And in debate, he loved a fight
And how his faith, it shone so bright
Which nobody can deny, deny, deny, deny, deny, deny
If he does, he tells a lie."
Welcome to our website for singers who want to learn and sing traditional and new South Downs folk songs, sung in the traditional way. "Put another barrel on, landlord, and pull a pint for me! The ale here in Sussex is the best we all agree!"
