We’re pleased to host our Bookmark’d event again this year, albeit in a slightly different format to last year.

Taking place in Sun Pier House on Sunday, October 11, we have a selection of authors and publishers who can read and discuss their work with visitors in the intimacy of their own table space, located in between the cafe gallery and the main speakers gallery.

The cafe is open from 10am with free entry, and Bookmark’d will run until approximately 5.30pm.

Authors and publishers taking part are:
