EVENTS

Most of our events, held throughout the year, are talks given by nationally well-known authors about their latest book. Given the demand to hear them we hold these talks in a larger venue. Scroll down to see the events planned and how to purchase tickets.

 

Apart from these larger events, we also hold smaller events in a cosier venue where a local, or less well-established, author talks about their book(s). For these, a generous canapé buffet and a glass of wine are often provided and time is allowed before the talk to turn these into super social events.

 

All talks start at 7pm unless otherwise stated, with doors open at 6.30pm.
