We are delighted to be the main sponsor of Chagword literary
festival. Held right in our very own backyard – the pretty little town of Chagford
– this inaugural weekend-long event has attracted a tremendous line up of the
good and the famous from various areas of the world of books and writing.
Some very dedicated and imaginative organisers, plus Dartmoor’s
rich literary heritage, have attracted an eclectic mix of literary talent –
with authors ranging from bestsellers (Sydney-born Kathy Lette and historical
novelist Kate Mosse) to literary heavyweights (novelist, critic, blogger and
stand-up comedian A.L. Kennedy), from academics and broadcasters (Jonathan Dimbleby)
to popular children’s authors (Philip Reeve).
Completing the line up are former Labour MP Chris Mullin,
gothic comedy writer Malcolm Pryce, Austen and Waugh specialist Paula Byrne,
picture book writer and illustrator Simon James, poet and nature writer Miriam
Darlington and a musical slant will be offered by Neil Sorrell.
Clearly the programme offers an event for every literary
taste. The festival runs from 15-17th March 2013, and full details of the event
programme, timings, presenters and tickets can be found at http://www.chagword.com, or follow @Chagword
