Come on a journey with us this September

This year, our programme is shaped by the theme of journeys - in all their forms.

From personal stories of transformation to tales of new frontiers, from the quiet turning points of ordinary lives to great leaps through history and imagination, we’re welcoming authors whose work has the power to move us — literally and emotionally.

Our first events announced include:

• Pop up Poetry Performances with Shipston’s young poets
• John Cornwell, Earth to Earth – a true crime classic revisited
• Bookshop Band and author exhibition – presented with the Shipston Proms
• Starting to Write Fiction: a Creative Writing Workshop with Helen Yendall
• Literary Lunch with Sandeep Mahal at The Bower House
• Ben Miller – a special family event with this author and actor
• David Larbi, Frequently Happy – a wellbeing and journalling talk and workshop
• David Price, How to Build a Spitfire – one man’s project to recreate an icon of British aviation
• Female Spies: Fact and Fiction – in conversation with Mandy Robotham and Claire Hubbard-Hall
