Event Information

This is a new addition to the calendar this year, being held on Friday 30th October, as part of the Norwich Book Festival.  The book fair will be held at our usual Norwich venue, the Forum Building of the Millennium Library in the centre of the beautiful medieval city. The building is a magnificent piece of architecture, flooded with light. 

There are coffee shops and food outlets at the venue, and even more to explore in the adjacent market place, with the Cathedral and Castle Museum only a short walk away.  

Admission is free and all are welcome.
