Clapham Book Festival is Back!

The Clapham Book Festival is back this autumn with a special celebratory day on Saturday 16 October 2021.

Crime writer and CWA member Julie Anderson is a co-founder of the festival and will be leading a literary walk around Clapham Common at 2pm.

A second walk will be led by prize-winning novelist Annemarie Neary at 3.30pm. In addition, there will be two live author events at the Omnibus Theatre. The first speaker will be multiple award-winning Sir Michael Morpurgo at 5.30pm followed by Radio 4’s Ed Stourton at 7.00pm.

Clapham Writers is a registered charity formed by writers who live and work in Clapham, south London, to bring arts and live literary experiences to the local community. Run entirely by volunteers, its showcase event is the Clapham Book Festival. See www.claphambookfestival.com for more information and tickets.
