Newark Book Festival is back and it’s busy dusting off its pages and stretching its spines getting ready to celebrate writing in all its forms when imaginative tales, personal stories and marvellous music will spill out of books and across the town’s streets.
Completed before his death in 2020 Kangchenjunga is the final book by Nottingham-born mountaineer Doug Scott, the first Britton to summit Mount Everest, alongside Dougal Haston.
Managed by Liz Carney-Marsh on behalf of Bassetlaw District Council and funded by North Notts BID, LitFest offered free virtual workshops, live online interviews and readings with a variety of different authors, and the First Chapters Trail to encourage people to participate outdoors.
