When you’re based in or visiting Little Sutton or Tarporley, a sure-fire great day can be had at the Chester Literature Festival which is just a short journey away from our offices.
Since it started, the event has celebrated the very best and the greatest literary delights as well as showcasing the geniuses who created them. This year’s event is set to be even better than before with so many famous names turning up to whet your appetite.
Possibly the marquee attendee is Derek Jacobi: the Shakespearian actor who’s found himself a home on several television programmes. He’ll be talking about his new book and is guaranteed to be able to field any questions you may have. As Jacobi has a massive adoration for all things books, he’s bound to have more than a little knowledge to impart.
A constantly popular name is Tim Vine: the comically styled author who’s looking to exhibit his Bumper Book of Silliness to an eager crowd. With Richard Bacon looking to make an appearance over the occasion, it’s a high-quality event this year for sure.
Professional names such Luke Wright and David Lloyd are available for your interest too with the former being on-hand for you in a brilliant workshop – unmissable for any burgeoning writers. With other respected names descending on the venue to teach and titillate, this festival is going to be a fantastic celebration of the literary world.
If you’re interested in supporting local, upcoming talent or just want to uncover more tips and tricks then you should look no further than venturing to see the lecturers of Chester University at their talks throughout the week.
