Local Author Showcase & Community Book Swap

Our local author showcase returns, but with a twist!

Hosted by publishing veteran and author Peter Buckman, 6 local authors will talk for five minutes about their work, their inspirations and more. At the interval, you can meet local authors, buy their books and get them signed.

The twist? Bring a book with you, leave it on the swap table when you arrive, and take something chosen by a fellow book lover home with you. A bar is open at this event, and the Festival Bookshop will also be open all evening.

Tickets include a complimentary first drink.
