Festival over!

Over seven busy days, forty writers came from near and far and participated in a wonderful, colourful, engaging and enjoyable week of workshops, poems, writers and stories! It was a great sucess and everyone enjoyed it. The writers commented on a well run and entertaining line-up, and the audience came out enthused, engaged and excited. Well done to everyone involved and we hope that you managed to catch your favourite writer at the festival.
