Keep your fingers crossed for good weather. This wholesome-sounding book festival, which is new for this year, is forgoing the venues where literature events are usually held and is putting on a big ol’ book bash in the park instead. ‘Books in the Park’ will fill Lewisham’s beautiful Beckenham Place Park with author talks, guided walks, writing workshops and an interactive children's programme. Unsuprisingly, ‘nature’ is the theme and authors appearing include Claire Ratinon, Emilia Hart, Ben Jacob, Alex Falase-Koya and comedian Isabel Losada.
There’s a range of free and ticketed events, head to the website for full programme information.
