Book enthusiasts across Derbyshire and beyond are in for a treat this spring as the much-anticipated Wirksworth Book Festival returns. Promising a fantastic day out for readers of all ages, the event will transform the town into a vibrant literary hub on Saturday, April 25.
A Literary Feast for All Tastes
The festival programme is packed with activities designed to captivate every kind of reader. Attendees can look forward to a diverse array of author talks and poetry events happening throughout the day. The genre offerings are impressively broad, featuring everything from children's authors and laugh-out-loud humour to gripping crime novels and spine-tingling horror. This ensures there truly is something for everyone, contributing to the event's famously fabulous and inclusive atmosphere.
Get Involved: Stalls, Sales and Community Spirit
Beyond simply attending, the festival offers numerous ways for the community to participate. A central feature will be a fabulous book fair and outdoor stalls, where visitors can browse and buy. Local shops will also be joining in with outdoor book sales. The organisers are actively inviting participation from a wide range of people.
If you are a local author who has written a book and would like to sell it, the book fair is the perfect platform. Similarly, those wishing to run a second-hand book stall or represent a charity with books to sell are strongly encouraged to get involved. This community-focused approach helps create a unique and vibrant marketplace.
