Taking place in September, the Lindfield Arts Festival has been running for six years. I’m delighted to have been invited to join the committee this year and support the programme with a range of reading and creative writing workshops.

As part of my desire to support and encourage reading for pleasure in the local community, this is the perfect opportunity to get involved in a fantastic event celebrating creativity in all its forms. I am looking forward to announcing shortly some of the participants for 2016, who I am sure will inspire festival goers. Watch this space!
