Exploring Rural Realities

In 2019 the Book Festival invited four authors, Sarah Davy, Hilary Elder, Gwennie Fraser and Angela Readman, to create pieces of writing celebrating the diverse and fascinating county of Northumberland, its inhabitants, its agricultural Heritage and historical connections.

Join us at Hexham Book Festival 2021 to meet some of the authors and hear their stories, they will be appearing at 5.30pm on Sunday 11th July.
