Spirit of the Rose
The Spirit of Place Series is coming to an end ...
“Dead yesterdays and unborn tomorrows, why fret about it, if today be sweet.”
―Omar Khayyâm
Countdown to Sunday November 7th at the historic Bull Inn on Market Hill 2PM -5PM. Come and celebrate the life of Victorian Woodbridge resident Edward FitzGerald and his translation of the world famous Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam with a Persian Tea, music, poetry, art and a talk from Charles Mugleston.
Did you know that the Rose in the Woodbridge Town Crest comes from Naishapur in Persia (Iran) birthplace of the 10th century astrologer, mathematician and poet? You can also see a rose bed in Elmhurst Park celebrating Omar Khayyam and in Boulge Church where Edward Fitzgerald is buried. It’s a fascinating story!

Music from the Glass Thistles and Phil Jackson in the front dining room. 10% off Sunday roast at the Bull Inn Woodbridge.

Community events like the Spirit of Place series bring out the best in people. We produced these 'Grass Roots' events to lift the spirits of Woodbridge and beyond after 18 months with no live music or arts. Thanks to the performers and artists, sponsors and audience - we couldnt have done it without you and watch this space - we will be back to celebrate in 2022 ...
