Only a few days before the Festival starts, with a grand opening at the Coleford Clock Tower, moving down and up again to Cafe 16 in Bank St where we will have readings to kick things off….

In the evening – 6 pm Coleford Baptist Hall –  we have Lakers School writers and performers at 6 pm, followed by the announcement of the shortlisted authors of the Festival’s writing competition AND the launch of their work in an Anthology – the first work to be published by the Festival.

And to finish off Day 1, a session with crime writer Matthew Hall – My Life in Crime – also at the Coleford Baptist Hall – see the Festival programme –
