About

Thanks to our friends at the Imperial Hotel, we are delighted to be able to offer a free alternative on Sunday afternoon for you. We will be hosting an afternoon in the Regency room overlooking the Bay with a talk by Kathryn Harkup, the author of A is for Arsenic and, her new book V is for Venom. Kathryn was a hugely popular speaker at the Festival three years ago and we are delighted to be able to welcome her back. She will  be signing her books which will be available to purchase during the afternoon. Also on the line up is vintage singer Terrie-May McNaulty.

We  are able to make this event free due to the generosity of Festival friends the Imperial Hotel, so would ask you to support them by purchasing tea, coffee or other beverages throughout the afternoon.

While this event is free, registering as soon as possible would be much appreciated to give the hotel an idea of numbers.
