Looking Forward to the Fowey Festival, 17-18 May

  I first appeared at the Fowey Festival at least 20 years ago. My role was to interview Ann Widdecombe about one of her novels. I fell in love with the place and went back to Fowey a couple of times afterwards. Last year I spoke at the Festival and on my way back broke my hip! Up to that point it had been a fantastic weekend, which included a night at the wonderful Fowey Hall Hotel. In a couple of weeks I’ll be back and I’ll be speaking/appearing at three different events. If you’re in the west country on 17/18 May I do hope you might come along to one or more of the events. Here are the details…   Friday 17 May, 6pm Fowey Town Hall Kings & Queens panel I chair a panel including Sir Vernon Bogdanor, Gareth Streeter and Nigel Fletcher discussing the role of the monarchy in 21st century Britain plus three of the monarchs featured in my book KINGS & QUEENS Tickets £12 Buy HERE   Saturday 18 May, 4pm Fowey Town Hall The Strange Survival of Liberal Britain - Politics and Power Before the First World War I interview Sir Vernon Bogdanor about his book Tickets £12.
