In case you haven't seen, we have had to cancel our event with Paula Rooney Burnham Book Festival but thankfully we have an awesome last-minute replacement.

Stepping in at the last minute, we have Zoe Langley-Wathen with her session Walking Myself Braver, presenting her book 630 Miles Braver.

The session is about her trek along the South West Coastal Path, and includes a short reading. She will go on to share what that walk led to over the subsequent 14 years, including the Camino De Santiago.

Anyone with tickets to Paula Rooney's unfortunately cancelled Odd Poles and Baggy Trousers, is more than welcome to straight swap to this event, which will take place at the same time.

Tickets will go on sale tomorrow...
