Read this. Talk about it.

AUTHOR TALK 📚

We are delighted to announce that Mark Bowles will be joining us on Sat 25th July at 6pm til 7:30pm to chat about his new book How Do People Stay The Same.

Mark’s first book, All My Precious Madness, is one of our favourite books of the decade and we are thrilled to have the opportunity to chat!

Mark will be interviewed by resident literary interrogator, Ella, along with a reading and a Q&A. Tickets are available now for £3, redeemable against the price of a book, which is at Goldfinch NOW!

Alongside his own writing, Mark teaches a number of creative writing courses, including ‘Writing with ADHD’, and his work is beautifully emotive, entertaining and poetic.

So hurry up! Grab a book and a ticket!

Stage complete! We are now officially a community benefit society - reinvesting profits into the community - hooray! ✊🎉 What does this mean? It means we can press on to the next step and open some doors to fundraising that could ultimately lead to our town owning a goldfinch that is protected and therefore stands a chance of surviving well into the future, beyond our tenure - more to come in the coming months❤️
