Sunrise will be the first of two 5-day festivals on Wimbledon Common this summer. The event will comprise of 40 talks, readings, discussions, and workshops spanning fiction, poetry, politics, nature, music and more. The programme features a range of writers, artists, and thinkers - from well-known names to important new voices and local talent. Names range from broadcaster James O’Brien, Michael Morpurgo, accidental relationship guru Rosie Wilby and more. Each event will take place in a reduced-capacity, roof-only marquee with allocated seating to fit social distancing guidelines. The Covid-secure format was successfully used in October 2020 when organisers presented 'The Last Days of Summer', one of the few in-person arts festivals to take place last year.
