Manchester Literature Festival 6-26 October
We will be hosting two events for the Manchester Literature Festival this year, and both will be held in the atmospheric Baronial Hall.
The first event, on Monday 13 October, will be ‘The History Girls‘, a discussion by the novelists Suzannah Dunn and Maria McCann on the historical novel. Tickets are £6/£4 and the event begins at 6.30pm. More information here.
Then on Friday 17 October we host the glittering prizegiving ceremony of the Manchester Writing Competition. The event will be hosted by James Draper and Matthew Frost and tickets include entry to a pre-event drinks reception. Tickets are £5 and the event begins at 7pm. More here.
We hope that lots of you will be able to come and enjoy the combination of cultural excellence with the wonderful atmosphere of the lovely medieval buildings.
