The informative and enthusiastic talk given by M Anne Alexander about Florence Dugdale at our recent Literary Festival was very popular - another event that needed more chairs!. Anne brought Florence alive for the audience - a ground-breaking local figure who definitely deserves to be better known.

It was a delight to welcome back Caroline Bird to our Literary Festival. Fizzing with energy and passion, Caroline read to us from "Something Old", "Ambush at Still Lake" and "The Air Year". Caroline is warm, funny and very talented. Her Q&A session gave encouraging advice before signing books.

A well attended talk at our Literary Festival was "Maligned and Misunderstood?" - a fresh look at the characters of Mary Bennet and Mr Collins. Researched in detail by speaker Valerie Darville, the talk offered refreshing discussion and insight on these two perhaps harshly treated characters.
