Bridport Literary Festival returns with live events this weekend
Bridport Literary Festival returns with live events this weekend with a week of great speakers.
A range of brilliant authors are lined up for the 17th BridLit - a festival for all those who read books and love literature.
It kicks off on Sunday, November 7 and continues until Saturday, November 13, with events in Bridport Electric Palace, the Bull hotel, Tithe Barn and Sladers Yard.
James Rebanks is one of the speakers at the festival. He is the winner of this year's Wainwright Prize for his English Pastoral: An Inheritance and will be bringing the festival to a close by discussing with Elizabeth Wainwright how rural landscapes around the world have been brough close to collapse and the age-old rhythms of work, weather, community and wild things are being lost and how to rescue them.
Joining him on the line up is Lisa Jewell and Nancy Tucker in conversation with Sally Laverack about psychological thrillers, veteran traveller Colin Thubron in conversation with Christian Tyler about his new book, The Amur River: between China and Russia, and journalist and non-fiction writer, Boris Starling, in conversation with Olivia Glazebrook about his new fiction romance, The Law of the Heart.
