Philip Larkin Centenary Events
Poet, Philip Larkin was a regular visitor to Loughborough – his mother lived for over 20 years on York Road. The first event is a FREE afternoon walk around Loughborough, based around places Eva Emilie Larkin would have known, and looking at [a few of the!] changes since her death in 1977.
Local historian Lynne will be leading the walk, and will be accompanied by Philip Pullen, a Larkin researcher and a Trustee of the Philip Larkin Society, and supported by Loughborough University.
The second event is a FREE early-evening talk, which is taking place at the university, and will be delivered by Philip Pullen. The title of the walk is: ‘Dearest Old Creature: the life of Eva Emilie Larkin’, and draws on Philip Pullen’s research, and letters written between Larkin and his mother.
