Once again MET was pleased to be supporting the Book Festival in Richis, which began on 13th September. MET guesthouses in the surrounding villages were provided for participants - including the beautiful, newly restored Richis house in the heart of the village. Details of MET guesthouses can be found on the Experience Transylvania website. The Trust also sponsored artist Lilian Theil, whose patchwork textiles are beautiful and political and unique. Now in her eighties, she lives in Sighisoara. For full details about the festival and its programme, see: Festival website
