Plans are now well advanced for the inaugural book festival at Rhosygilwen on 18th September. There will be 30 trade stands in Neuadd y Dderwen (the main hall) and 26 speakers in all, giving shorter and longer talks and participating in "conversations" with other authors. Three venues will be in use -- the Conservatory in the mansion for keynote addresses and other talks; the bar, mainly for poetry events; and the summer house in the mansion grounds for childrens' and family events. the summer house events are free, but there is a charge of £5 each for the conservatory and bar events. A Festival Pass, costing £10, will give free access to as many of the events as you can physically get to; that has to be good value, and Festival Passes can be purchased in advance and on-line by going to this web page:

There is already massive interest in the festival, and we are convinced that we will have an excellent turnout from book-loving people from across West Wales.
