Book Events

Tickets include refreshments & 10% off the author's book. 20 capacity, seated with back support. Entrance to the space is wheelchair accessible, although unfortunately the bathroom is not at this time. We are working on a solution to this issue.

Some tickets are allocated as PWYC starting at £2.00. These tickets are intended to allow those on low incomes to attend our events at a cost they are comfortable with. Please only select this option if you need to do so, and pay what you can afford. If you select this option but can no longer make it, please return your ticket so somebody else can use it.
