Are you a book lover local to Nottinghamshire? One who also doesn’t mind a beautiful location? Well how about a book festival held in stunning castle grounds?!
Newark Castle in Nottinghamshire is holding its first ‘Books in the Castle’ festival on Saturday 8th and Sunday 9th August and there is already talk of there being another festival next year so it’s worth going to this first one; the one where it all starts.
If it’s crime you are looking for then you will find crime authors Peter Robinson, Stephen Booth and Nick Quantrill.
You can find out all about the festival, times, ticket prices, how to get there and much more, on the website HERE. It promises to be a great weekend.

Wish I wasn’t on the wrong continent for that! A book festival in a castle would be amazing.

I’d love to attend. I’m looking for a conference. Hmmm… is this a tad far from my California home? I’ll have to think about that.

I know Newark well, I grow up just a few miles away and went to school there. Still have friends and family there, in fact due to visit the weekend after this. Now wondering if I could change my plans ….. looks great, thanks for letting us know about it.

Reblogged this on graemecummingdotnet and commented:
It seems to me that we’re starting to see a lot more activity in the East Midlands with and for writers and readers. This event looks like another great step forward, offering something for most readers. It’s good to see and I’m grateful to Rebecca for bringing it to my attention. I hope by posting here, we can garner some more support for it.

Will you be there, Rebecca? I’ve put it in my diary and will get along for at least some of it on the Saturday.
