Book Events in the UK.

Use this thread to share details of any UK book events you know of - local or national.

I`ll make a start - here`s www.lowdhambookfestival.co.uk.

For some reason, my links never work well, but that`s the site address anyway.

I love going to literature festivals and the one near me is the Durham Literature Festival - always good fun.

The South Bank Centre in London seems to have bucked its ideas up about putting on literature events. I have been to see Hanif Kureishi and Peter Carey speak there so far this year, and I know Salman Rushdie and Isabel Allende have passed through too. They are promising a London Literature Festival in July.

Don't think I'm going to make it to Hay-on-Wye this year. I went for the first time in 2006 and thought I might possibly have died and gone to book lovers' heaven.

I'd really like to go to Edinburgh for theirs. Well in fact I'd like to go to all of the them lol!
