<p>Greenwood Public Library will host an information session for a literary tour of England planned for this fall.</p>
<p>An informational session for the trip will be at 6:30 p.m. Wednesday at the library, 310 S. Meridian St.</p>
<p>The trip scheduled from Sept. 7 to 17 is a fundraiser for the library. A percentage of each booking will be donated to the library.</p>
<p>The trip will include several areas of England that have historical, literary and film connections. Highlights include a visit to the Harry Potter studios, Shakespeare’s birthplace in Stratford-Upon-Avon, villages and locations that appeared on Downton Abbey, overnight stays in historic hotels with first-class service and the Jane Austen Festival in Bath. Travel will be via coach bus or van to London, Oxford, Gloucester, Bristol and Winchester, touring beautiful homes, museums and universities.</p>
<p>Breakfast is included each morning of the tour, along with a special pub dinner at the Eagle and Child Pub in Oxford (where C.S. Lewis and J.R.R. Tolkien would meet), and a true English tea at Cogges Manor Farm (known as Yew Tree Farm in Downton Abbey). Anyone 21 and older is welcome to join the tour.</p>
<p>The cost of the trip is $2,000 per person and includes all accommodations, transportation, breakfast each morning and tours and activities. Flights will be an additional cost, but a lower group rate will be available soon.</p>
