Burnham Book Festival

From May 19th to May 21st, the Princess Theatre in Burnham-on-Sea and the library across the road will play host to a bewildering variety of talks, panels and workshops.

The festival features an evening with bestselling local writer Damien Boyd, a fascinating talk from TV ornithologist Stephen Moss, a showing of Charlie Chaplin’s The Kid accompanied by a talk on the life and work of legendary impresario Fred Karno. Writers looking to develop their skills can join workshops on life writing, travel writing, screenwriting and more. For poets, check out the spoken word workshops for adults and young people, complete with an opportunity to perform in front of a closed supportive audience.

The festival also features Patrick Duff, lead singer of Strangelove, who will be talking about his life and autobiography, The Singer. Hear the fascinating story behind The Tennis Champion who Escaped the Nazis, or learn about the geology of the local area.
