Bookmarked for success

The inaugural Point Wells Literary Festival on September 16 has been hailed a resounding success.

The morning focussed on children’s books, while the afternoon session gave the audience insight into the work of local authors Madeleine Eskedahl, Sherryl Clark and Debbie Aldred, poet Kit Willett and cookbook author Brigid DiMattina.

An organiser, Maria Gill, says the festival will be repeated next year.
