Pam Ayres has been making the nation laugh for half a century. After Ted Hughes, she is the UK’s best-selling poet since records began and has been heard and loved by generations across the country. In a special matinee event, Hexham Book Festival welcomes Pam to talk about her new book, Doggedly Onward: A Life In Poems, which brings together some of her most-loved and best-known poems from the 1970s through to the 2020s. Included are the cavalcade of much-loved dogs, her lifelong fascination with wildlife, the travel, mistakes, regrets, the heartbreak of leaving the family home, and the sober business of ageing.
Tickets £12/£10
“Who doesn’t feel warm, sentimental, and downright good when they think of Pam Ayres? She’s a timeless talent and a glorious people’s poet.” – Glastonbury Festival
