As part of the festival there is a rather exciting first: the first ever Open Book event, a one-day literary extravaganza featuring top names from the world of words including:
- London literary agent Ella Kahn, “How to hook an agent”
- Best-selling author Allan Esler Smith, “Can you retire early, rich and happy?”
- Renowned speaker Terry Gillen, “Unlock the more confident you”
- Award winning poet and novelist J.S.Watts, running both a creative writing workshop, "Writing With Your Senses" and a joint, interactive poetry event with poet Rowena M. Love, "Chalk and Cheese".
Plus there will be historical talks from Dr J. D. Davies, Hugh Bicheno and royals expert Jane Dismore, workshops, publishing advice, poetry readings, cake icing demonstrations, fascinating family research tips and murder - how one man made his living from it!
Come and join the writers as we share our passion for books! On-site beer and wine tent, BBQ, book signings and banter with the authors!
