Unfortunately, the original date for the Charles Parker Day in Sunderland (Friday 31 March) is now bookended on the Thursday and Saturday by rail strikes so a new date has been set for the day:–
Charles Parker Day 2023 – Wednesday 26 April – University of Sunderland 1230-1700
But this does mean that we can extend the Deadline for entries for the Charles Parker Prize for the Best Student Audio Feature – giving students more time to submit their features and a chance to hear them broadcast in New Storytellers on BBC Radio 4 in the summer:-
NEW CHARLES PARKER PRIZE DEADLINE - MONDAY 13th MARCH 2023
