Head to Hitchin Library for their Spring Reads event, an evening of readings (and even a song or two!) from their staff’s favourite romantic literature, with genres including historical fiction and poetry, to fantasy and romantasy 🐉⚔❤📖

Immerse yourself in the setting of an enchanted forest, and calm your beating heart with something extra sweet, kindly donated by GAIL’s , as they whisk you away for an evening of literary love and romance!

Think you know romance... think again! Mills and Boon this is not!

Everyone is welcome whether you are a romance lover or not!

Calling all writers!

Thursday 11 June 2026 @ The Settlement
Two separate sessions: 14.00-16.00 & 19.00-21.00
£10.00 per session

Join a supportive creative community via an informal “Come Write With Me” session, where writers of all levels can gather, focus on their own projects, set goals and write together with our very own Writer-in-residence, Claire Hogan.

Each session begins with brief introductions and a short overview of what everyone is working on. Claire will be on-hand for inspiration, prompts, subjects and images to get you started, or to help you develop your writing.

This will then be followed by focused writing time, a short break and then further writing opportunities. Each session concludes with an opportunity to reflect on what you have achieved and to set a goal for the next session.

Book now via the link on our bio.
