<h2>The fifteenth annual T S Eliot Festival at Little Gidding</h2><h2>Sunday 10 July 2022</h2><h2>TS Eliot at Little Gidding on the centenary of The Waste Land</h2>After a two-year absence, the T S Eliot Festival returns on Sunday 10 July with a glittering line-up to celebrate the centenary of the ground-breaking publication of The Waste Land in 1922 at an inspirational day of talks, readings, and discussions near the pig-sty, the dull façade, and the tombstone.Simon Callow will open this year&#x27;s Festival with a reading of The Waste Land in its entirety.
