30 OCTOBER – 7 NOVEMBER 2021
Various Times
With just a few days to go before the opening of this year’s Literary Week, the entire team is in place to usher in a superb week during which we will be meeting a treasure trove of fascinating authors speaking about a genuinely kaleidoscopic range of subjects. Having the likes of Alison Weir talking in person about Henry VIII’s Queens; Prof A C Grayling about The Frontiers of Knowledge; Hamish de Bretton-Gordon about his extraordinary, death-defying exploits as a chemical and biological weapons expert; Dr Tessa Dunlop about the enduring legacy of the women who were a crucial part of the second world war effort; Prof Christina Riggs about the glories of the Tutankhamun treasures and their wider cultural legacy; and Sebastian Faulks, Jeffrey Archer and Jeremy Vine about their latest novels, it should be clear that we are about to be spoiled for choice over the coming nine days.
We do hope you will join us in person. The majority of the events are in St Mary’s Church this year where we trust everyone will feel comfortable with the levels of ventilation. If you would prefer to watch online, that option of course is available and will remain so until Sunday 28 November
*all events held in St Mary’s Petworth will be streamed live online and available to view on demand for three weeks after the event.
This is the end
