Folkestone literary festival kicks off

We've got tickets on the way for a few events including David Starkey and Terry Jones, get yours at www.folkestonelitfest.co.uk/:

We have carefully put together nine days of eclectic and exciting world-class authors and performers to entertain you. These sessions will thrill, entice and provoke debate.

Starting with the super-sized History Weekend (2nd-4th November) organised in association with Canterbury Christ Church University, join us for talks on a whole host of topics including Monarchy with David Starkey, Great Tales from English History with Robert Lacey and London in the 19th Century with Jerry White.

New this year we have two days focusing on the environment (9th & 10th November). Examine the state of the globe through specially curated exhibitions (Burning Ice by Max Eastley and David Buckland of Cape Farewell at The Metropole Galleries) and talks by Eugenie Harvey co-author of Change the World for a Fiver and Kate Evans creator of Funny Weather. Enjoy a variety of award winning films including Al Gore’s An Inconvenient Truth and DV8 Physical Theatre’s The Cost of Living.

We are pleased to welcome David Frost speaking about the momentous drama behind the book Frost/Nixon, Roy Hattersley on life between the wars in Borrowed Time plus Nicholas Parsons’ own inimitable performance, How pleasant to Know Mr Lear. And this is just the tip of the iceberg.

HG Wells ART at The Neville Pundole Gallery

Exhibition to tie in with the literary BOOK festival

Here Now



In support of the Folkestone Book Festival I have specially commissioned pieces by several artists, inspired by the works of H. G. Wells. The exhibition is comprised of works in Pottery, Glass and Paint; all drawing their influence from not only Wells' more famous works such as "The War of the Worlds" and "The Time Machine", but also "The Sea Lady... a Tissue of Moonshine" which Wells wrote whilst living in Folkestone. The exhibition ends 15th November. All works are for sale.
