Our May festivals are over, but there are some cracking events to look forward to this summer. Book now for:

Comedian, actor and successful children’s writer Julian Clary, has turned to murder! Join us as he introduces us to the cast of Curtain Call to Murder, with great characters, plenty of suspense, but also Clary’s trademark dry and laugh out loud delivery.

Actor turned bestselling crime writer Richard Armitage joins us shortly after the publication of his gripping new psychological thriller, The Cut. If you enjoyed Geneva, his bestseller, a Richard and Judy Book Club pick, you’ll want to hear more about The Cut – ‘they say the camera never lies.’

Katherine Rundell, creator of the hugely successful Impossible Creatures, is back with a second in the series, The Poisoned King.

And, not forgetting Bath Children’s Literature Festival which runs from Friday 26 September–Sunday 5 October.

We have just announced that kids’ lit legend, Cressida Cowell will be part of our festival, celebrating How to train your dragon school, her first (hilarious) novel in the Dragon world for 10 years. There will be an EXCLUSIVE pre-publication sneak peek of the last instalment of the Which Way series, Which Way to the Future. It’s an exciting year for the Dragon, with a new live action film released in June.
