News update from Meg, festival director


Event tickets are selling out fast!

There are only 2 tickets left for the supper with Barbara Erskine on Sat 16th June. If you'd like to attend this event please email Meg@magreid.co.uk. Further details can be found here

Nicola Upson, the panel event "Deadlier Than the Male", the cookery demo, Vintage tea parties, Liz Trennow and John Saul are all selling quickly too.

Don't forget to get your children involved - events at the library for little ones up to teenagers (library coffee bar event with Hayley Long)


Recommended events

Two events I would personally recommend are Boris Starling 9.30am Sat 15th June - our opening event - and Breakfast with Stephen May on Sunday 16th at 10am.

I'm currently reading and very much enjoying and appreciating Boris'novel "Visibility"- a very atmospheric, thought provoking thriller set in the London smog of 1952.

One of the events I most enjoy at the Edinburgh Book Festival is the breakfast event each day and I have been known to book in even when the speaker was a poet reading part of his work in Icelandic! What better way to start the day than having coffee (or tea) and a breakfast pastry while listening to an author?

In the news

There is a feature in the glossy EADT Suffolk Magazine coming out this week as well as a feature  today in the EADT and the Star. I'm also being interviewed later on BBC Radio Suffolk so get in quickly if you want to buy your tickets!

I turned on the Radio today and heard Liz Trenow talking on "Start the Week". The programme repeats this evening on Radio 4, or you can listen to it on demand by following this link  Liz is appearing at the Festival 4.30 on Sunday at the Orwell Hotel.

Sara Sheridan bootcamp update

Finally, if you have booked for the Sara Sheridan boot camp, please note that this event to Sunday 11.30 - 1pm. If you have any questions about this event or anything else please email meg@megreid.co.uk

Tickets for all events can be purchased here or in person at Abbeygate Lighting in Felixstowe.
