Our Current Programme of Events
We are planning to re-start our programme for 2021 in September.
Our Literary Festival will no longer be concentrated into a few days but will now be spread throughout the year. This will ensure that we provide authors with the opportunity to promote their latest work at the nearest convenient date to publication.
Our other events, Words with Wine (a less formal style of event) and Poetry Plus, will continue to showcase local authors and promote poetry respectively.
