Hello - it’s that time again! In this 16th year of the Lowdham Book Festival we look forward to welcoming friends old and new. We are delighted that our festival takes place during Independent Bookshop Week, a national celebration of bookshops in all their glory! This year we are remembering Beatrix Potter on her wedding day and Alice in Wonderland at 150, talking about cricket rebels, crafts and sheep, Harry Potter, battles, gardens, music past and present, visiting Cyprus and Italy, and examining our own wonderful national dialects. Our free day of talks, stalls, children’s tents, treasure hunts and music is back again to end the festival week, and we thank you all for helping us in our annual celebrations!
