The Foreword Festival team is back with a very special event in August! Join us on Saturday August 31st at Bury St Edmunds Library for a book fair that makes a difference.
East Anglian authors will be getting together to raise money and awareness for charities and other great causes. Every book makes a difference, and every visit raises awareness.
Join us on the day, buy a book, and Pay It Foreword!
Introducing our authors and good causes:
Lynda Brignall – Suffolk Hedgehog Hospital
Jackie Carreira – Suffolk Libraries
Rachel Churcher – PTSD UK
AJ Deane – Inside Out Community
Elisabeth Sherriff – Autism Anglia
Urban Pigs Press – FIND
Russell Webb – The Fire Fighters Charity and Cancer Research UK
You’ll find everything from contemporary fiction, poetry and short stories to books for teenagers and picture books for children. We’ll also have refreshments, and the library will be selling books and library-themed goodies.
We’ll be running more book fairs in 2024 and 2025. If you’d like to attend as a reader or as an author, sign up for our mailing list, and we’ll make sure you hear about all our future Foreword Festival events in advance!
