1 - 18 October
The Guildford Book Festival, now in its 34th year, is on a mission to encourage a love of reading and inspire creativity by introducing everyone we engage with to a range of books and authors.
The Festival kicks off on Sunday 1st October with our ever popular history day: four authors talking about their latest books. All of this takes place in the beautiful surroundings of West Horsley Place and you have the opportunity for a tour of the House, setting for the BBC series Ghosts.
If it’s adventure you want, on Wednesday 4th October come and hear international bestselling novelist, Kate Mosse speak with Stephanie Merritt about the latest book in her Joubert Family Chronicles, The Ghost Ship.
Or on Sunday 7th October how about getting out and about in Guildford’s picturesque Chantries for a walking and talking event with Tiffany Francis-Baker, author of The Bridleway: How Horses Shaped the British Landscape.
Throughout the Festival there are a number of Family events, including on Sunday 15th October author and illustrator Rob Biddulph with Peanut Jones and the End of the Rainbow.
