Friends and readers,
One of my goals for this year is to try in person events where I can meet readers face to face.
As fate would have it there is a month long Book Festival in February, and it's close to where I live.
I had no idea I'd be able to achieve this goal so early on in 2025.
The Macclesfield Book Festival is on every weekend in February. The book festival is part of Christ Church Macclesfield’s 250th anniversary celebration year.
I hasten to add, this church is no longer a church in the religious sense, more of a community space.
My books and I will have a stall for the four weekends of February. I'll be there in person for three of the four weekends. The 8/9th February I already have plans.
Are you in South Manchester, Cheshire or Derbyshire? Do you love books and reading? Come and visit! As well as local authors and poets, there are second hand books for sale too.
I think the first and last weekend will be the busiest, so if you prefer quieter browsing time, perhaps one of the other two weekends would be good.
FYI the church is very cold, so wrap up! If you come please do say hi.
