Join us for our brand new Meet the Author evening – a relaxed and welcoming monthly event that brings you a diverse mix of local writers from Sussex with a focus on women.
Each evening features two authors from different genres – from fiction to leadership, wellbeing, biography, art, photography – sharing the stories behind their books and the journeys that led to them.
This is a chance to step away from the noise, sip a glass of wine, and engage in meaningful conversation with authors and fellow book lovers alike.
Nb: Limited space + We regret that unfortunately there’s a steep set of stairs and no lift
