EVENTS
Events Information
Many 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 in a larger venue. The format will usually be a 40 -minute talk, then questions and answers followed by time to meet the author in a book-signing.
Apart from these larger events, we also hold smaller events in cosier venues where, for example, a local, or less well-established author or poet talks about their book(s) or a literary subject. Drinks and sometimes canapé buffetsare provided and time is allowed to turn these events into super social occasions.
