Happy Christmas!

Happy Christmas from the Foreword Festival team!

We had a great day on Saturday at Festive Foreword, our Christmas Book Fair. 13 local authors shared their books and literary goodies with the readers of Bury St Edmunds, who supported us in spite of the terrible weather!

A huge thank you to everyone who came to the event, chatted to our authors, and bought books and gifts. It was lovely to meet you!

Happy Christmas from the Foreword Festival team!
