Durham Book Festival Returns with a Mix of Live and Digital Events
After a brief hiatus, the Durham Book Festival is making a comeback this year, offering a week-long celebration of literature from October 9 to 17. The festival will take place at Durham's Gala Theatre and will be accessible to audiences from around the world via online streaming and chat.
One of the highlights of this year's festival is the opportunity to meet some of the biggest names in literature. Star names include Richard Osman, Pat Barker, Fiona Benson, Francis Spufford, Sarah Winman, and Fiona Hill.
Richard Osman, best known for his role as a television presenter and co-creator of the hit show "The Great British Bake Off," will present his debut book, The Thursday Murder Club. Pat Barker, a Man Booker Prize winner, will present her new novel, The Women of Troy. Fiona Benson, this year's Festival Laureate, will read from her poems inspired by Durham's witchcraft history and archival research. Fiona Hill, who testified during Trump's impeachment hearings, will share her insights and experiences.
The festival will also feature a series of unique events, such as 'Inside the Archives' at Palace Green Library, where attendees can delve into the library's historical collections. Seven new concepts for living with the 'new normal' will be shared at the festival, and short videos promoting pioneering ideas will be circulated throughout the event.
For those who prefer a digital experience, the festival will offer a variety of digital events, including author talks, films, podcasts, and walking tours. Tickets for these events can be purchased online.
The festival is also supporting Durham's bid to be UK City of Culture 2025.
