The Festival starts 2 weeks today with a poetry tea (and cake) in the Tower House Gallery. The theme is 'favourite Welsh poets' but this is a prompt rather than a ‘rule’, so feel free to bring poems about Wales, or written in Wales, even if the poet isn't Welsh! So long as they are published and not overly long, we'll be glad to hear them.

What we need as much as people willing to read, are people willing to listen! So ... if sitting with your tea and Bara Brith and being read to appeals to you, come along!

Sounds yummy! Tickets are £10 from the Gallery or email [email protected] to reserve yours. Must be booked in advance.

Julie Brominicks will be joining us at the Festival to talk about her new book on Saturday 17th October. Tickets go on sale soon www.knightonfestival.wales

What would a mountain say if it could tell its own story? Published today, Julie Brominicks’ new book, ‘Cader Idris: Let the Mountain Speak’ explores this question. Interweaving her own experiences with what she learns through her research and interviews with visitors to the mountain, she creates a fascinating biography of a place which holds deep significance to communities across Wales https://www.serenbooks.com/book/cader-idris/
