A Wake For Blake

A special evening to raise money for a memorial for the poet and artist William Blake.

William Blake - a visionary poet, artist and prophet - lies in an unmarked grave in the City of London.
Overlooked, ridiculed and ignored in his lifetime, Blake has since become on of the greatest figures in British culture.

The exact location of Blake's resting place was only re-discovered in recent years after detailed research by two trustees of the Blake Society.

This event featuring some of the UK's most thrilling maverick performers is to raise funds towards a fitting marker to identify Blake's grave in Bunhill Fields Burial ground.

Please note that the artists appearing may be subject to change.
