With the 2011 Lancaster Literature Festival behind us, Litfest is busy planning its activities for 2012. But that doesn’t mean we don’t have any literary treats on offer for you over the winter break; we have Lunchtime Classic readings of the Decadent Poets, a spooky MR James ghost story for Christmas, and Thackeray’s Vanity Fair in the new year. And our friends at Spotlight will be running their fantastic live literature events every third Friday of the month.

Litfest will be opening up our Poetry Bookcase on Saturday 3rd December to coincide with the Storey Gallery’s vintage fair, so you can pick up a Christmas book for that special literary someone: and if you can’t make the Saturday, we’ll be moving the Bookcase downstairs beside the Nice Bar in December. Come by and say hi!
