Upcoming Persephone events at our Bath bookshop

On Saturday July 5th, Hayden Thorpe will be stopping by on his bookshop tour to share some songs from Ness, his new collaboration with writer Robert Macfarlane. Tickets available here. 

Then in the autumn there will be more Shared Reading sessions, in which we discuss a single passage from a Persephone book. These will be from 10.30am to 12pm on Thursday September 11th and Thursday September 25th, Thursday October 9th and Thursday October 23rd, and Thursday November 13th and Thursday November 27th. Led by Jenny Lacey, who is a trained Reader Leader, they are free to attend and there's no need to read anything in advance, but please email, telephone or come into the bookshop to reserve your place. 

On Thursday October 16th at 6.30pm, there will be a launch event for PB no. 153 Hop, Step and Jump featuring Rowan Pelling, who wrote the preface, in conversation with Francesca Beauman, followed by champagne and cheese straws. Tickets £10; please email, telephone or come into the bookshop to add your name to the list.

We also run two Book Groups; click here for further information.
