- **Event Name**: An Afternoon with Maggie O'Farrell
- **Event Start and End Date**: Tue, 16 Jun, 2026 at 02:00 pm (+01:00)
- **Event Description**: Join us for an afternoon with bestselling author Maggie O’Farrell, as we celebrate the release of her new novel, Land.

Inspired by the mapping of Ireland in the mid nineteenth century, the new novel from the author of Hamnet is at once intimate and epic: a portrait of a family navigating a legacy of upheaval and survival with resilience and love.

Land is a story of buried treasure, overlapping lives, ancient woodland, persistent ghosts and a particularly loyal dog. It’s also a story about place, and how layers of history change landscapes and the people who live in them. 

Maggie O’Farrell is the author of nine previous novels, including Hamnet which won the Women’s Prize for Fiction in 2020.  Hamnet has been made into a film and Maggie co-wrote the screenplay with Academy-Award-winning director Chloé Zhao. The film has already won Best Motion Picture - Drama at the Golden Globes and the audience award at multiple film festivals including Telluride, Toronto and London.  Maggie’s bestselling books include the novels After You’d Gone, The Vanishing Act of Esme Lennox, The Hand that First Held Mine and her memoir I Am, I Am, I Am.

The £30 Book & Ticket bundle includes a stamped author signature Trade Paperback copy of Land exclusive to the Land tour for collection on the afternoon. 

The £39 Book & Ticket bundle includes a hardback copy of Land.
