We are a community book festival taking place in the towns of Hertford and Ware, 16th and 17th May 2026, celebrating local authors, books and readers.
The lovely Freya North is coming to the Herts Book Festival on Saturday 16th May to talk about her life as a writer and her new Flora's House series, set on the Isle of Harris which works its own particular magic on visitors. beamhertford.co.uk/whats-on/Zha...

This looks good, if you want to find out more about Nic Wilson. Land Beneath the Waves is much more than a memoir, a fascinating book.

Looking forward to welcoming @nicwilson.bsky.social to the Herts Book Festival on Sunday 17th May. She'll be leading a writing workshop plus a short walk by the River Lea to get inspiration from the wildlife right on our doorstep in Ware.
