Petworth Local Author Weekend

May 20, 2022 @ 11:00 am - May 22, 2022 @ 9:00 pm UTC+0

20 – 22 MAY 2022

Various Times

The Petworth area has long been a haven for writers and artists. The rolling hills and woodlands continue to harbour an abundance of creative talent.
Petworth Bookshop invites to join them as they showcase a wide range of this talent in their inaugural Local Authors Weekend.
The weekend begins in style on Friday evening with Eleanor Anstruther, prize-winning author of ‘A Perfect Explanation’ in conversation with acclaimed podcaster, journalist and comedian, Viv Groskop.
On Saturday morning the whole family can take part in a free event for young children with prolific children’s author, illustrator and paper engineer, Jonny Lambert.
Hear storytelling, draw with Jonny and make a pop up to take home.
In the evening you are invited to join local flower farmer Milli Proust at the launch of her stunning debut, ‘From Seed to Bloom’. Enjoy a glass of complimentary bubbles while she discusses and then demonstrates her art.
We round off the weekend with Matt Whyman whose autobiographical, ‘Failure is an Option’ tells the moving, sometimes hilarious story of a plainly average runner who sets out to discover just how far he can go.
Tickets are available in person or over the phone from the bookshop or online at wefifo.com searching ‘Book Event’.
