GALLERY: Literary fun at first ever Glossop Book Fest

Tuesday, 28 March 2023 14:43

Authors and illustrators gathered to promote their work to the local community at the very first Glossop Book Fest last weekend. 

The five-hour festival - a free event organised by dedicated volunteers - took place on Saturday afternoon at Central Methodist Church on Chapel Street, which was a hive of literary activity. 

There was a special workshop for young writers; a children's book illustration workshop; an introduction to short story writing; a storytime session for children; a cartoon draw-along of aliens, robots and monsters; a bring and buy stall for pre-loved books, and a whole lot more. Book related fancy dress was also optional.

The team behind the event was children's book author and illustrator Nicola Worswick; author, editor and storyteller Mark P Henderson; author Pamela Turton; author, poet and occasional stand-up comic Andy Millican, and author Andrew Dutton.
