Each year we endeavour to bring you an event that showcases both new and established writers and to dive a little deeper into the writing process as well as the stories themselves.
This year we have four very different writers with four very different books - selected because they have been significant reads for me during the year and and/or because I know they are hugely engaging speakers.
Consider this your winter literary treat.
The bar will be open and the urn will be on. Light refreshments are just part of the deal…
We’ll look forward to seeing you there.
