COVID-19
We have followed the advice of HM Government and have postponed this year’s festival….HOWEVER….
If you have a great idea for our Flash Fiction competition (follow this link) you can still enter by the closing date of 4 April.
We are planning to run the postponed Festival in mid October, if gatherings are allowed by then and if our wonderful authors are able to come. We will also announce Flash Fiction winners at the re-arranged festival.
We will keep you updated. If you have bought tickets, the Drill Hall box office will be in touch.
Book festivals matter, but they don’t matter most. Do, please, take good care of each other over these difficult weeks.
