Bookshop Signings
Buy a book from our Bookshop signing tent in the Festival Hub, or from one of our pop up book shops in the Stables and Orangery, and you could have it signed by the author.
Bookshop signings will be available with all festival headliners.
Provisional timetable coming soon
Please view the timetable on site for exact timings and locations. Note that the advertised list of authors may be subject to change.
*Author books are available from the Orangery and Stables gift shops and also the bookshop signing tents. Signings are offered on a first-come, first-served basis only and are likely to be in high demand; therefore, we are unable to guarantee that your book will be signed.
